English: Taken from the VIIRS instrument on the NOAA-20 satellite, this true color image of the Earth was taken on December 16, 2021. It shows all the seven continents across the world, four of the world's oceans, and the greenery of the trees in the tropics, Snow covered areas of the northern latitiudes, and plenty of storms systems ranging from mid-latitude systems to tropical systems like Typhoon Rai which was off the coast of the Philippines. Also in this image of the Earth you can spot wonderful ice caps of the Antarctic, and the deserts of Africa, Australia, southwestern North America, and middle and southwestern Asia. When this image taken it was nearing Winter in the Northern hemisphere which is the reason why some areas are snow covered particulary in Europe, Asia, and North America, if you spot it closely. While in Southern hemisphere it was nearing Summer which is why in the Southern tip of South America particularly in Argentina and coastal Australia, you can see trees in their green summer color.
