Eriskay Island, Scotland

This enhanced-color satellite image captures Eriskay, a small island in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, surrounded by the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Bright crimson vegetation contrasts with dark blue seas, revealing the island's rugged landscape and the narrow causeway connecting it to South Uist.

Recorded by the ASTER instrument aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft, the image highlights differences in vegetation and land cover that are not visible in natural color. The result is both an important scientific observation and a visually striking study of landscape, color, and form.
