Q:How many lakes are there on the left image? Hint: See the Near Infra Red image on the right :)

Q: Why plants are light colored? A: Because they radiate a lot of infrared. Especially recent growth of the vegetation has more IR radiation.

Q:Why water is so dark? A:Water seem to absorb IR, and not releases back in Near IR range may be in Far IR, which is heat.
