The English Channel was moving and grooving in March 17, 2022 when the Hawkeye onboard NASA and the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s SeaHawk Cubesat collaboration snapped this image. For reference, France is on the right, England is on the left, and some of those tiny white specks between them are ships. These streaks of green are likely sediments from rivers, sediments churned up from the ocean floor, and phytoplankton blooms, says NASA.
