NASA's Aqua satellite has captured an extraordinary image of a huge dust storm billowing out over much of the Red Sea. The plume of airborne dust appears to be blowing northeast-wards out of Africa across the Red Sea towards Saudi Arabia. Sand or dust storms are not uncommon in this desert region. This one resulted from blustery winds caused by a cold front, which was related to a cyclone near the Persian Gulf. [Source: Time]
