Indonesian Archipelago Observed from Space

Welcome to our simple space gallery…

In our space gallery, you can enjoy the beauty of Indonesian archipelago which observed from MODIS Aqua/Terra sensor. Since the MODIS Aqua/Terra sensor were passive sensor, we only provide the area with minimum cloud cover. All the data were derived from Goddard Space Flight Center -National Aeronautic and Space Administration (GSFC-NASA) and processed on high spatial resolution . In order to meet with maximum  size which can be uploaded on this blog, we reduce the image resolution. The real image which resulted from process is finer rather than image which displayed on this blog.

On the east side of Indonesia, you can see the wonderful color of coastal Papua. Coastal discharge from Papua shallow rivers are responsible of this color. Move to the west, you can see the beauty of Timor Island, Sumba Island, Sawu Sea, Lombok Island and Sumbawa Island.
