These images were acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite. These images were generated by combining the following visible bands:
Band 1: 0.52 - 0.60 µm (Blue visible light) – mapped to red in this image
Band 2: 0.63 - 0.69 µm (Green visible light) – mapped to green in this image
Band 3: 0.76 - 0.86 µm (Red visible light) – mapped to blue in this image
This band combination shows trees, crops, and other vegetation as red and city
streets as blue or grey.
