Dust off Morocco
| Title |
Dust off Morocco |
| Description |
Thick streams of tan dust blow northward off the shores of Morocco into the Atlantic Ocean. West of the dust storm are the Canary Islands. The dust appears to have originated in the Western Sahara, left of the dark brown wrinkle the Atlas Mountains form in the otherwise tan landscape. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) instrument on the Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this true-color image on November 4, 2003. The high resolution image provided above is at 500 meters per pixel. The image is also available at MODIS? maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters per pixel.

Dust Storm over Morocco
| Title |
Dust Storm over Morocco |
| Description |
A plume of Saharan Desert dust (light brown pattern) can be seen blowing over Morocco and fanning out in a wide swath over the eastern Atlantic Ocean in this April 7, 2003, image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra satellite. The Strait of Gibralter is situated in the upper righthand corner of this scene. The famous city of Casablanca sits on the Moroccan coast roughly 300 km southwest of the Strait. Part of Morocco's picturesque Atlas Mountains can be seen in the lower righthand corner, partially hidden by clouds. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS? maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters. Image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC |

Both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are visible from Apollo 8 spacecraft |
| Description |
Both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are visible in this view from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. The large, most prominent, land mass is the bulge of west Africa. The portion of Africa near the equator is dark and cloudy, but the more northerly portions are clear, showing the prominent cape at Dakar and the Senegal River in Senegal, Cap Blanc, the Adrar Plateau in Mauritania, the wide expanse of desert in Algeria and Spanish Sahara, and at the far edge, the Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Clouds cover the eastern coast of South America, southward from Surinam and Guyana to near the City of Salvador, Brazil. This view was taken after tranlunar insertion. |
