On August 2, 2025, #NOAA20 captured this freshwater lake, which means "big water" in the Seminole Indian language. The bright color of the lake in this image is caused by a phenomenon called “sun glint”—sunlight reflecting off water at the same angle a satellite views it. Sun glint can also occur from sunlight reflecting off the ocean and even rivers!
