Hunting Red Leaves with Satellites

A contemporary satellite system now allows people to track the progression of autumn foliage from space, providing a novel perspective on the age‑old pastime of leaf‑peeping. By monitoring the changing colors of trees across large regions, the satellite data lets enthusiasts plan trips to view peak colors more precisely.

This capability merges high‑tech observation with a classic seasonal tradition, expanding how the public can experience and appreciate the seasonal transformation of landscapes.
