By the end of the following year, it had nearly eroded away, retreating from view "like an apparition," said NASA Earth Observatory. The OLI (Operational Land Imager) and OLI-2 on the Landsat 8 and 9 satellites captured images showing the island emerge and shrink about 25 km (15 miles) off the eastern coast of Azerbaijan.
