Here’s another chance to play geographical detective! These natural-color images were acquired by the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) during October and November 2003. The two images represent about 310 kilometers x 141 kilometers (right panel) and 310 x 184 kilometers (left panel). This mystery concerns two coral atoll ecosystems located in different parts of the globe. Use any reference materials you like to answer the following 4 questions.

E-mail your answers, name (initials are acceptable if you prefer), and your hometown by the quiz deadline of Tuesday, December 2, 2003, to suggestions@mail-misr.jpl.nasa.gov . Answers will be published on the MISR web site . The names and home towns of respondents who answer all questions correctly by the deadline will also be published in the order responses were received. The first 3 people on this list who are not affiliated with NASA, JPL, or MISR and who have not previously won a prize will be sent a print of the image. A new "Where on Earth...?" mystery appears as the MISR "latest featured image" approximately once every two months. New featured images are released on Wednesdays at noon Pacific time on the MISR home page. Image courtesy NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team. Text by Clare Averill, Raytheon Back to: Newsroom |
