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.
August 18th, 2024 - Central Texas at Night
This sequence of five images, taken on the night of August 18th, begins over central Texas at night. In the first image, the night-time illumination of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio metropolitan areas are brightly visible. Due to the darkness of night, almost no details are seen of the Earth's surface. In the top left of the image, the glow of the atmosphere illuminated by the Sun beyond the horizon shines brightly. These images were taken with the wide-angle metrology camera on the spacecraft. North is roughly towards the top right of the image.
