A dense gray pall of pollution covered much of eastern China on January 4, 2004. The haze has been lingering over this region for more than a month. Some of the aerosol can be seen blowing eastward across the Yellow Sea. This true-color scene was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra satellite.
