“The photo was taken in infrared light — which is invisible to the naked eye — to highlight the different layers of rock and sediment, giving the tie-dye appearance. The layers are made up of limestone, sandstone, clay stone, and gypsum. The image was acquired on November 5, 2007, by the ASTER instrument on the Terra satellite. Terra got its name from the Latin word for ‘Earth’ and was the first satellite to form the Earth Observing System (EOS) when it launched in 1999.”
