Pictures from space show that fall is in full swing in parts of North America. Clusters of trees have shed their summer greens in favor of autumnal oranges and reds around the Great Lakes and New England.


NASA's Terra satellite went leaf peeping last week from its perch about 438 miles (705 kilometers) above the planet.


The Earth-watching satellite captured the fall colors spreading around the Great Lakes on Sept. 26 and New England on Sept. 27 using its Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS. The images were released Sept. 30 by NASA's Earth Observatory
