The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite has captured a striking false-color image of the Manicouagan crater in Quebec, Canada, which was formed by an asteroid impact 214 million years ago. Known as the 'eye of Quebec,' the crater measures approximately 45 miles in diameter and features René-Levasseur Island at its center, while the surrounding areas showcase vibrant ecosystems within a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The imagery highlights various elements, such as snow, ice, and dense vegetation, alongside the modern infrastructure of Manicouagan Lake, created in the 1960s for hydroelectric purposes.
