A thick streamer of pale dust sweeps across the Mediterranean Sea in this image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer modis.gsfc.nasa.gov (MODIS) on NASA's aqua.nasa.gov Aqua satellite on March 20, 2007. The dust casts a thin beige veil over the lush green vegetation lining the banks of Egypt's Nile River and its fan-shaped delta. The river of dust passes by the island of Crete (left edge) and reaches the shores of Turkey (top).
