The background of the image is entirely black, with an illustration of Earth centered on Africa in the top right corner of the image. The HARP2 logo lies below the Earth illustration. A small box is highlighted over Western Africa and two lines are extending out from it, meeting with two larger images which take up most of the image, indicating that the larger images are zoomed in to the location highlighted over the Earth. The larger image to the left has a label above it in white that says “True Color Image”. It shows a portion of land on the right side of the image in shades of brown. The left side of the image is primarily the dark blue color of the ocean. Over the land and ocean, primarily in the top left corner of the image and along the right border are wisps and speckles of clouds. The larger image to the right, which has a label above it that says “Polarization”, is the same as the left image, but with inverted colors. The land shows up as a dark black color, while the ocean is seen as a brighter blue. The clouds now show up in a range of colors. The clouds on the right border of the image appear in shades of muted greens and oranges, and as the clouds extend over to the top left corner, they are seen in a full rainbow color. From right to left, the colors transition from dark purple, through the rainbow to end at red.
