Us-Satellite Image-Great Barier Reef
This image taken from NASAs Earth Obeservatory Internet site shows the Great Barrier Reef, that extends for 1, 242 miles (2, 000 km) along the northeastern coast of Australia. It is not a single reef, but a vast maze of reefs, passages, and coral cays (islands that are part of the reef). This true-color image was acquired by the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) instrument on August 26, 2000, and shows part of the southern portion of the reef adjacent to the central Queensland coast. The width of the MISR swath is approximately 236 miles (380 kilometers), with the reef clearly visible up to approximately 124 miles (200 kilometers) from the coast. The large island off the most northerly part of the coast visible in this image is Whitsunday Island, with smaller islands and reefs extending southeast, parallel to the coast.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, a natural wonder that stretches an astonishing 1,242 miles along Australia's northeastern coast. The image, sourced from NASA's Earth Observatory Internet site and taken by the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) instrument on August 26,2000, showcases a portion of this vast maze of reefs, passages, and coral cays. The true-color photograph reveals the intricate details of this underwater paradise as it extends up to approximately 124 miles from the coastline. The width of the MISR swath spans around 236 miles, offering a panoramic view that highlights both its grandeur and fragility. In this particular shot, we can admire part of the southern section adjacent to central Queensland's coast. Whitsunday Island takes center stage with its imposing presence in the northernmost region visible here. As our eyes wander southeastward along parallel lines formed by smaller islands and reefs, we are reminded of nature's remarkable artistry. This image serves as a testament to NASA's commitment to exploring our planet beyond just outer space. It reminds us not only of Earth's extraordinary landscapes but also emphasizes their conservation for future generations. Let this photograph transport you into an enchanting world beneath the waves—a reminder that there is still so much left to discover and protect within our own blue planet.
