NASA Earth Observatory shares a new satellite picture puzzle every month. The August image shows a real place from high above Earth. Readers study the picture and guess its location. They can look for roads, water, mountains, colours, or other useful clues. A simple guess is welcome, but careful answers can include more details.
People could also name the satellite or instrument that made the image. NASA revealed the answer on 17 August. The place was Roebuck Bay in Western Australia. Huzaifa Javed was the first reader to identify it. The monthly challenge turns Earth science into a friendly game. It also teaches people to notice patterns in landscapes.
