      Sunshine and clear skies permitted a gorgeous view that stretched from   
      Green Bay to Lake Ontario on June 23, 2022. The Moderate Resolution   
      Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite   
      acquired a true-color image of an early summer scene over several of   
      the Great Lakes that same day.   
      
      There are five Great Lakes: Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and   
      Ontario and all are connected by various lakes and rivers. Together   
      they span a total surface area of about 94,600 square miles (245,013   
      square kilometers) to create the largest freshwater system on Earth.   
      The lakes captured in this image are, from the west, Lake Michigan,   
      Lake Huron, and in the southeast, Lake Ontario. Green Bay connects to   
      the western side of Lake Michigan and Lake Winnebago can be seen to the   
      south of Green Bay. Georgian Bay is the large body of water that   
      connects to the eastern side of Lake Huron.   
      
      Lake Superior, which is not see in this image, is the largest of the   
      Great Lakes. Lake Michigan and Huron come in at second and third in   
      size, although they are hydrologically connected and often act like a   
      single lake. Lake Ontario takes fourth place, and the prize for the   
      smallest lake goes to Lake Erie (not seen in this image). All of the   
      Great Lakes are shared by the United States (south) and Canada (north)   
      except for Lake Michigan which sits entirely within the United States.
