An ISRO satellite has captured a colourful glimpse of Earth. Using Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-06), which is also known as Oceansat-3, the Indian space agency gave a closer look of the Earth's surface with a special focus on India which beams in a rust orange colour.
The high-resolution pictures which were captured between February 1-15, 2023 are part of a phenomenon called Global False Colour Composite mosaic.
"Global False Colour Composite mosaic generated by NRSC/ISRO using images from Ocean Colour Monitor on EOS-06 Mosaic with 1 km spatial resolution combines 2939 images after processing 300 GB of data to show Earth as seen during Feb 1-15, 2023," ISRO tweeted.
The satellite has captured 13 distinct wavelengths of Earth to provide information about global vegetation cover on land. Due to the variation in wavelengths, continents, countries, oceans appear in different colours.
