A NASA satellite has captured an amazing view showing the North York Moors and the North Yorkshire town of Middlesborough from space.<\/p>

The OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) on the Landsat 9 Earth observational satellite captured the image of the UK’s North York Moors on 26 December 2023.<\/p>

In the image, the moors are seen as brown formations, while green strips are valleys that were formed in the landscape by glacial meltwater.<\/p>

The North York Moors cover an area of 554 square miles (1,436 square kilometres) and 26 miles of coastline.<\/p>

The region became a National Park on 28 November 1952 and is one of 15 National Parks in the United Kingdom.<\/p>

Heather moorland in the North York Moors covers an area of over 44,000 hectares, around one third of the total National Park.<\/p>

And the region is also well-known among UK astronomers for its dark-sky areas: the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors Dark Sky Reserves<\/a>.<\/p>
