Ireland's Colorful Coast
Landsat 9 Captures Ireland's East Coast
As captured by Landsat 9's Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2), this true-color image of Ireland's east coast presents a rich contrast between Dublin, Ireland's largest city, and the verdant landscape that surrounds the city-center. On Dublin's immediate right are the Wicklow Mountains, the largest continious highlands and the largest national park in the country. The rest of the image features a patchwork of green inland pastures, active farmland, and swirling algal blooms adrift in the coastal tide.

![Landsat 9, launching September 2021, will collect the highest quality data ever recorded by a Landsat satellite, while still ensuring that these new measurements can be compared to those taken by previous generations of the Earth-observing satellite. Landsat 9 will enable or improve measurements of water quality, glacial ice velocity, crop water usage, and much more.Music: The Waiting Room by Sam Dodson [PRS], Afterglow by Christopher Timothy White [PRS], both published by Atmosphere Music Ltd [PRS]; and Inner Strength by Brava/Dsilence/Input/Output [SGAE], published by El Murmullo Sarao [SGAE] and Universal Sarao [SGAE].
