Russian space agency Roscosmos has released a striking new image of Earth captured by its Electro-L hydro-climate satellite. In those breathtaking images, India can be seen glowing green from space. Electro-L is a space-based weather-observation instrument designed to keep a permanent, unwavering eye on our planet. Electro-L is a Russian weather satellite deployed in geostationary orbit.
Big surprise for iPhone and iPad users! This amazing game is finally launched, now on mobile experience the console-like thrill
Electro-L is fixed at a fixed point about 36,000 kilometers above the Earth’s equator and rotates at exactly the same rate as the planet’s rotation. It is as if he is playing his role as a watchman. He never moves. (Photo Courtesy – X)
This image, released by Roscosmos, was taken using the Multispectral Scanning Device. It is a camera that can see many types of light at once. Its scope includes the Indian Ocean as well as Eurasia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. The Electro-L satellite does not see the world as your eyes do. It captures images in 10 spectral bands, which are channels of light at different wavelengths.
