      Fall colors were on full display when the Moderate Resolution Imaging   
      Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired a true-color image centered on the   
      Appalachian Mountains on October 27, 2022. The scene stretches from the   
      Chesapeake Bay westward to the agricultural fields of Ohio, with the   
      folded mountains in between.   
      
      Although the colors of the autumn leaves don’t appear as brilliant red,   
      orange, and yellow from space as they do from the ground, the dramatic   
      change in color is still obvious. The cool temperatures of fall and   
      shortening day length has burnished the high elevations in a   
      coppery-red tint, while the valleys are washed in greenish-yellow and   
      tans of fallow fields all along the Appalachian Mountains. This   
      includes the ridges across West Virginia, the Blue Ridge Mountains in   
      Virginia, and the Allegheny Range in south-central Pennsylvania. The   
      agricultural-dominated flatter lands both to the east and west are also   
      painted in the shades of green, gold, and tan of crop stubble, drying   
      vegetation, and harvested fields.
