Earth observations taken from orbiter Discovery during STS-85 mission
STS085-743-000D (7 - 19 August 1997) --- Cape Cod almost looks like an elf's slipper with this orientation in the sunglint. The sunglint also reveals other features such as shipwakes, calmer sea surfaces (the darker areas) and internal waves which are waves traveling along a layer of denser water many tens of feet below the surface.
