Reviewer: Robert Croft 4 stars
Comments: The significance of the great images/videos was not apparent at first glance. The background info found at the "Story" link found 3/4 of the way down the web page is some what hidden and easily overlooked. This is very much needed to aid the novice in their understanding of the significance of the MODIS data/images.
