Florida peninsula from Shuttle
Shuttle photograph of the Florida peninsula showing marked reflections of the sun in the Atlantic and the lakes within the wetlands of central Florida. The sunglint is crossed by the shadow of an east-west band of clouds and it also highlights regions of shears in the surface waters off the east coast (presumed to be related to the Gulf Stream). The view looks to the east and goes as far north as Georgia/South Carolina at the upper left. The Great Bahama Bank is visible as a light blue patch, indicating the shallower water, on the far right, just off the tip of the peninsula

Earth Science From Space Image Photos Sciences Florida Peninsula
EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the stunning beauty of the Florida peninsula as seen from space. Taken by a shuttle, it showcases the remarkable reflections of sunlight in both the Atlantic Ocean and the lakes within central Florida's wetlands. The sun's glint is beautifully interrupted by an east-west band of clouds, casting shadows that add depth to this mesmerizing image. As we explore further, intriguing regions of shears can be observed in the surface waters off Florida's east coast, believed to be connected to the powerful Gulf Stream. This natural phenomenon highlights how interconnected our planet truly is. Looking towards the east, this extraordinary view extends all the way up to Georgia and South Carolina on its upper left side. On the far right, just off the tip of Florida's peninsula, lies a light blue patch known as The Great Bahama Bank—an indication of shallower waters in that area. This photograph not only showcases Earth science at its finest but also reminds us of our planet's incredible diversity and complexity. It serves as a reminder that even from afar, we can appreciate and marvel at nature's wonders here on Earth.
