Detecting 3D Vegetation Structure with the Galileo Space Probe: Can a Distant Probe Detect Vegetation Structure on Earth? - Fig 2

<p>Earth as viewed from the solid state imager NIR reflectance (band 5–756 nm) on the Galileo probe at (a) 3:12 GMT December 11, 1990 and again at (b) 4:25, 12 scenes later. The red arrow shows the direction of rotation. The red square is a 9x9 pixel (~10,000 km²) patch of cloud free Amazon forest.
