This is an infrared aerial photograph of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 just before making landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi.  The infrared emulsion, unlike the black and white emulsion, is sensitive to wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye.  This image uses false color to show the viewer the intensity and the eye of the storm.
