Captured on Aug. 21, this image from NISAR’s L-band radar shows Maine’s Mount Desert Island. Green indicates forest; magenta represents hard or regular surfaces, like bare ground and buildings. The magenta area on the island’s northeast end is the town of Bar Harbor.

The image shows an aerial view of the Chesapeake Bay, with groves of trees, rivers, a body of water in the distance, and green land. The horizon, a third of the way down the image, separates the blue cloudy sky from the land. On the right of the image is a white wing of a plane.

$Gaseous yellow-orange filaments look like a rose seen from the side and tilted slightly from upper left to lower right, slightly higher than the center of the frame. Extending from the rose to upper left and lower right are gaseous outflows that appear as red lobes that have an overall shape of tall, narrow triangles with rounded tips. Each red triangle is made up of wavy, irregular lines. Dozens of stars are scattered across the field. One particularly bright white star with eight diffraction spikes is located at the top of the yellow rose. Another bright blue star with even more prominent diffraction spikes is to its lower left. The background of space is black.$

A grayscale image shows an uneven surface with various textures, including smooth areas, ridges, and depressions. The surface features several small, round indentations, as well as larger, irregularly shaped mounds and valleys. A thin, winding line crosses diagonally through the image, resembling a fissure or channel. A small white "x" marks the center of the image. A scale bar in the bottom right corner indicates 2 km.
