A new Where on Earth...? mystery appears as the MISR #147;image of the week approximately once per month. A new image of the week is released every Wednesday at noon Pacific time on the MISR home page. The image also appears on the Earth Observatory, and on the Atmospheric Sciences Data Center home page, though usually with a several-hour delay.
