NASA Releases September 2026 Satellite Puzzler

NASA Earth Observatory has released a new satellite image as part of its monthly puzzler series. The image, featured above, challenges viewers to identify the location shown. To participate, individuals can submit their response using a provided form, including their preferred name or alias. The submission should include the location guess, along with any notable clues or interesting aspects of the area. While no prize money or trips to space are offered, participants can earn puzzler bragging rights by being the first to correctly identify the location. NASA will post the answer and a link to an Image of the Day story explaining the image in more detail about a week after the challenge. The agency may also highlight readers who share thoughtful or interesting answers.
