September 9th, 2024 - Central Texas during Daytime
This sequence of five images, taken on the morning of September 9th, begins over central Texas in late morning. Austin and San Antonio are faintly visible between the green ridge and the cloud front in the first image. The images proceed North, roughly towards the bottom left of the image, capturing images of Oklahoma and parts of Kansas and Colorado. These images were taken with the wide-angle metrology camera on the spacecraft. The dark areas at the top left and bottom left corners are parts of the structure of the spacecraft not illuminated by the Sun.
