Spring Has Sprung in Tennessee – April 21, 2022
The Appalachian Mountains look absolutely green and lush on April 10, 2022, when the Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager captured this photo. For reference, the city of Knoxville is that gray spider-looking clump near the middle of the image. NASA, citing data from the National Phenology Network, says that the beginning of spring (which is measured by the Network using the First Bloom and First Leaf Indices) in the eastern parts of Tennessee came a little earlier than previous years.
