On February 24, 2000, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite took this image of Sonora, Mexico and Baja California. This is a true-color view from the MISR camera looking 26 degrees ahead of straight down toward Earth. It was acquired during the spacecraft's 996th orbit. The data for this image were mapped to a Space Oblique Mercator projection.

MISR was built and is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Terra spacecraft is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. The MISR data were obtained from the NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center in Hampton, VA.
