Ash from Japan’s Sakurajima Volcano streams over Kagoshima Bay in this false-color (near infrared, red, green) satellite image. In the image, ash, bare ground, and urban areas are gray; vegetation is red; and water is nearly black. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite collected the image on September 28, 2013.
