These two images show a large part of the city of Las Vegas and parts of its surroundings. One is a true colour representation (left) and one is a false colour representation (right).

The images were acquired by the German environmental satellite EnMAP, which captured a 41-kilometre by 122-kilometre image strip of the region on 12 July 2022. The total area is approximately 5077 square kilometres.

Las Vegas is the largest city in the US state of Nevada. It is located in the Mojave Desert, which is also home to the famous 'Death Valley'. The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (left in the images) is located just under 30 kilometres west of Las Vegas.

The colourful rock formations in this area have hues ranging from light sandstone to dark red - the red hues can be seen very well in the true colour representation.

In the false colour representation, the colour shades range from dark green to light yellow to beige. Blue and turquoise areas are visible in some places. This makes it possible to identify and subsequently analyse different rock and surface structures of the desert.
