      A pale veil of dust blew across Libya in late March 2023. The Moderate   
      Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua   
      satellite acquired a true-color image of dust storm on March 29.   
      
      Sitting in Northern Africa, Libya is the fourth-largest country in   
      Africa and the 16th-largest country in the World. The country enjoys a   
      long coast along the Mediterranean Sea, where most of the population   
      resided. Inland is a dry, difficult landscape that alternates between   
      large sand seas and rocky outcroppings. Only about 1 percent of the   
      land is arable, and dust storms are one of the country’s leading   
      natural hazards.
