Description

Paris from the en:NASA en:Landsat 7 satellite. In the above image, the Seine River wends its way through the center of the image. The gray and purple pixels are the urban areas. The heart of the city appears grayer than the surrounding suburbs. The patchwork of green, brown, tan and yellow surrounding the city is farmland.
This false-color image of Paris was made using data collected on August 24, 2000, by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper onboard the Landsat 7 satellite.
