📷 This week's #EarthFromSpace is a #Copernicus Sentinel-2 image of part of one of the world’s natural wonders – the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea off the east coast of Queensland, #Australia 🧪🌏

The section of reef seen here is the southern part off the coast of the Shire of Livingstone in Central Queensland. Part of the mainland and the islands surrounding the coast are visible in the bottom left corner. The tan-coloured sea along the coasts is due to sediment in the water. A chain of small coral islands can be seen scattered across the centre of the image. The blue hues of the coral contrast with the dark waters of the Coral Sea. Part of the reef is covered by clouds dominating the upper part of the image. The clouds form a surprisingly straight line, also visible as a distinct shadow cast over the islands below.
