🛰️ Orbiting above a winter wonderland

After an unseasonably warm weekend across the eastern United States, a winter storm dumped a blanket of heavy snow across the Mid-Atlantic region and points west. 

This image of the storm's aftermath was taken on Jan. 4, 2022, by MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer onboard NASA's Terra satellite. Terra has been orbiting above Earth since 1999, carrying five scientific instruments from the U.S., Japan and Canada to help us observe and understand our planet.
