Summary

Description
English: When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA�s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on April 22, 2015, strong winds were blowing a thick plume of dust from Saudi Arabia out over the Persian Gulf. There is a rich supply of dust in the Arabian Peninsula�s Empty Quarter or Rub� al Khali. Considered empty because it has so few human inhabitants, the Empty Quarter contains half as much sand as the entire Sahara Desert.
