Dust Storm in Egypt
"A dust storm blew out of Egypt and over the Mediterranean Sea on January 29, 2011.
Spanning hundreds of kilometers, the dust plume extends from Egypt across the Mediterranean Sea, dissipating off the coast of Lebanon. On its journey from Egypt’s interior, the dust passes over Cairo and the Nile Delta. Source points for the plume aren’t apparent in this image, but the dust may have originated in Egypt’s Western Desert."

Greece
"This image shows a portion of Thessaly in the geographic center of mainland Greece. Surrounded by mountain ranges, this area of fertile valleys receives frequent rain showers that give visual proof of its name: 'Breadbasket of Greece.'
Many fields and farming villages can be seen within the valley area. Scars from previous fires are visible in shades of pinks and browns. The man-made Plastiras Lake, which is within the Agrafa Mountain Range, can be seen on the right side of this image."

Gibbous Europa
"The robot spacecraft Galileo captured this image mosaic during its mission orbiting Jupiter from 1995 - 2003. Visible are plains of bright ice, cracks that run to the horizon, and dark patches that likely contain both ice and dirt. Raised terrain is particularly apparent near the terminator, where it casts shadows. Europa is nearly the same size as Earth's Moon, but much smoother, showing few highlands or large impact craters."
