Dust Storm on Planet Earth
Even an ocean planet can have dust storms. NASA's SeaWiFS instrument, designed to track ocean color, captured this view of a vast cloud of Saharan dust. The dust is blowing from northwest Africa, extending a thousand miles or more over the Atlantic Ocean. These events can impact Earth's climate and biosphere.
