NASA releases stunning images of California's poppy bloom as seen from space

In a series of aerial ims, National Aeronautics and ministration (NASA) revealed vast quantities of flowers blooms — California poppy— in Antelope Valley, California. With reserve temporarily closed due to coronavirus containment measures this year,  breath-taking mix of wildflower reserve was captured by NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Centre, which is located close to  super bloom. 

NASA’s official website, Earthwatch, wrote saying that  fields of poppies coloured  landscape a bright orange this spring. Suspected, that it was on its peak, poppy flowers bloom was recorded on Operational Land Imr (OLI) on Landsat 8 satellite in valley’s poppy reserves amid solar farms and green pastures.

With “significant rainfall" in March,  poppies this year, 2020 are expected to stick around longer than usual and would result in an above-aver wildflower year, NASA explained. “Lancaster received around 10.5 inches (27 centimetres) of rain—almost 4 inches (10 centimetres) above rmal,” organization calculated. Furr, it said, “Depending on day or even hour, orange patches may change in appearance.” 

Speaking about appearance of blooms, NASA wrote, “ poppies open ir petals during sunny periods, appearing like a large blanket over landscape. flowers tend to close during windy, cold periods.” It said that while orange poppies could easily be traced on satellite imry, fields also contained “cream cups, forget-me-ts, purple bush lupines, and yellow goldfields (a relative of sunflower)”.
