SPACE-ASTER-SOCHI
This nasa handout image released February 5, 2014 shows the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Russia, the warmest city ever to host the Winter Olympic Games, which open on February 7, 2014, and runs through February 23. This north-looking image, acquired on January 4, 2014, by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft, shows the Sochi Olympic Park Coastal Cluster -- the circular area on the shoreline in the bottom center of the image -- which was built for Olympic indoor sports. The Olympic alpine events will take place at the Mountain Cluster, located in a snow-capped valley at the top right of the image. Sochi itself, a city of about 400,000, is not visible in the picture. It's farther west (left) along the coast, past the airport at bottom left. In the image, red indicates vegetation, white is snow, buildings are gray and the ocean is dark blue. The area imaged is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from west to east (left to right) at the coastline and 25 miles (41 kilometers) from front to back.AFP PHOTO / HO == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO /NASA/GSFC/METI/ERSDAC/JAROS, and US/Japan ASTER Science Team / NO SALES / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
