The HD-Vis camera developed by NASA’s Ames Research Center that was mounted on the belly of NASA’s Global Hawk Earth science aircraft took this photo of cloud formations over the North Pacific Ocean on April 7, 2010. The wide-angle image from the HD-Vis camera was taken as the autonomously operated aircraft flew at 58,000 feet altitude on the outbound leg of its first data collection flight in the GloPac environmental science campaign. The forward fuselage and inner portions of the wings of the aircraft are visible at the top of the photo.April 7, 2010
