On April 20, 2023, a nearly cloud-free spring day allowed the Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua
satellite to acquire a gorgeous true-color image of the United Kingdom
and Ireland.

The United Kingdom (UK) stretches over both the large island of Great
Britain and small islands surrounding it (east) and the northernmost
section of the island of Ireland. Scotland, England, and Wales are
located on Great Britain with Northern Ireland sitting on the northern
sixth of the island of Ireland. The southern five-sixths of the island
of Ireland belong to the country of Ireland. Sediment stains the waters
of the Irish Sea, which separates the two islands.
