Installed on the space station in July, EMIT is the first of a new class of high-fidelity imaging spectrometers that collect data from space and produce better-quality data at greater volumes than previous instruments. The cube shows the presence of kaolinite, a light-colored clay mineral that reflects sunlight. The side panels depict the spectral fingerprint for each point in the image. This image cube shows the true-color view of an area in northwest Nevada observed by NASA’s EMIT imaging spectrometer.
