True color image of Ireland, National Aeronautic and Space Administration satellite, 4 Jan. 2003. Image by Jacques Descloitres, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Land Rapid Response Team at National Aeronautic and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center.

In the center is the island of Ireland, which in the photo appears deep green.  The ocean is dark blue around the island, and the sky around the island is filled with cirrus clouds.  To the right of Ireland, barely visible through the cloud cover, is the British coast.
