NASA Satellite Snaps Rare Cloud-Free Ireland

Posted by timothy on from the whiskey-free-ireland-not-available dept.

coondoggie writes "NASA's Aqua satellite recently snapped a cloud-free shot of Ireland. The cloud-free view is extremely rare as the country is almost entirely cloud covered 50% of the time according to the Irish Meteorological Service, Met Éireann. There are more clouds during the day than at night, and fog is common."
