{"Image ImageDescription": "EARTH Central Asia -- 09 Oct 2012 -- The Himalayas - which began forming about 50 million years ago when the Indian subcontinent started to collide with Eurasia - are arguably the world\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s best-known snow-capped mountain range. But just to the north, beyond the Tarim Basin, the same tectonic forces that built the Himalayas also produced the Tien Shan, a similarly vast range of snow-capped peaks that extends 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and western China. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Terra satellite acquired this view of the sprawling range on October 9, 2012. It shows glacial ice with a layer of fresh snow covering the ice in many areas -- Picture by Lightroom Photos/NASA", "Image XResolution": "609", "Image YResolution": "609", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 7.3 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2018:12:16 16:42:02", "Image Artist": "Lightroom Photos/NASA / Topfoto", "Image Copyright": "Lightroom Photos/NASA / Topfoto", "Image ExifOffset": "1072", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "609", "Thumbnail YResolution": "609", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "1260", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "18102", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0231", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2018:11:06 15:48:45", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2018:11:06 00:00:00", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated"}
