Baja California from space

Today's Video of the Day from the European Space Agency features Baja California as it appears from space. This false-color image was created by combining three separate photos. The Colorado river can be seen cutting through agricultural land in the top right of the photo. This river rises in the Rocky Mountains and flows through the Grand Canyon before crossing the Mexican border and emptying into the Gulf of California. -- By Chrissy Sexton, Earth.com Staff Writer Video Credit: European Space Agency
