For the past 13 years, the SeaWiFS instrument, shown here, has hitched a ride on the SeaStar spacecraft. But in January, it was determined that SeaWiFS
is no longer operational.

SeaWiFS captured this image of the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States on October 3, 2000. This view shows considerable amounts of colored organic matter and suspended sediment in the water. The apparent lighter color of the ocean from the Carolinas northward is caused by atmospheric aerosols, which scatter incoming solar radiation back into space.

This image shows where there is more or less plant life on our planet. On land, the dark greens show where there is abundant vegetation and tans show relatively sparse plant cover. In the oceans, red, yellow, and green pixels show dense phytoplankton blooms while blues and purples show where there is very little of the microscopic marine plant.
