Description: This image of Texas, obtained by astronauts aboard NASA's Gemini 4 spacecraft on June 5, 1965, shows a large dark swath attributed to rainfall. The dark areas correspond to regions that received more than 1 inch of rain in the days before the image was obtained. The large swath is about 16 kilometers across near the western (left) end.
