This true-color reflectance image of Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans was captured on February 2, 2025, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 satellite. On Sunday, February 9, Super Bowl LIX—the annual championship game of the U.S. National Football League—will be held in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.


The OLI instrument aboard the joint NASA-USGS Landsat 8 spacecraft is from the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project. HLS provides 30-meter resolution, true-color surface reflectance imagery from the OLI and OLI-2 instruments and from the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the ESA (European Space Agency) Sentinel-2 satellites. Data from the four instruments are processed through a set of algorithms to make the imagery consistent and comparable. This processing includes atmospheric correction, cloud and cloud-shadow masking, spatial co-registration and common gridding, illumination and view angle normalization, and spectral bandpass adjustment.
