A second round of spring flooding on the Red River was captured in an astronaut photo from April 9, 2009.
Astronaut photograph ISS019-E-5989 was acquired on April 9, 2009, with a Nikon 2DXs digital camera fitted with an 800 mm lens, and it is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 19 crew. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. Lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet.
