Landsat 9 image showing Washington D.C. on April 9, 2023. The image is shown using the Red, Green and Blue bands (Bands 4,3,2), combining these three bands produces a natural color view of the area. The image was then sharpened using the panchromatic band (Band 8) which has a higher resolution than the other bands (15 meters compared to 30 meters).
