NASA shares amazing pic that looks like artwork, here's what it actually is

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) official Instagram handle is both transfixing as well as educative.

From speaking about galaxies far away to showing wonders of the Blue Planet, the NASA frequently uploads unbelievable images and clips that leave people amazed. For instance, this image put out by space agency that looks like an artwork.

“The world’s largest salt flat. Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is a salt flat that for most of the year is a large expanse of white salt crust as large as 4,000 square miles (10,000 sq km). During rainy season, water can fill part of the salt flat and give it an incredible mirror-like appearance. However, in 2022 the watery mirror grew larger and lingered longer than it had for several years, which is probably related in to the La Niña event. Strong La Niñas during the rainy season are related to positive rainfall anomalies in the southern Altiplano,” NASA wrote.

In the next couple of lines, the space agency also added, “This is a natural-colored image acquired on January 31 by the Operational Landsat Imager on Landsat 8. Note the discoloration of the water and the salt flat, which could be due to a combination of runoff, volcanic sediments, and microbes or algae thriving in the water.”
