Looking at the earth from space: the new "blue marble" photo is shocking.
According to the data of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this satellite is called GOES- 16, which aims to take high-definition images of the continental United States every five minutes and the whole earth every 15 minutes. These photos will help meteorologists monitor weather patterns more accurately. [See GOES- 16 satellite for more spectacular pictures]
GOES- 16 captured the intricate details of this planet in a set of photos released for the first time. From the storm system in North America to the dusty air in the Sahara desert in Africa, this satellite has given scientists a new understanding of the earth.
Stephen Woz, director of satellite and information services of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States, said in a statement: "One of our scientists 16 years old compared this to seeing the first photo of a newborn, which is so exciting for us."
One of the striking photos is a new photo of "blue marble" in the western hemisphere. The so-called full disk image shows white clouds spinning over North and South America and the surrounding oceans.
"These images come from the most advanced space flight technology in history to predict the bad weather on the earth," Volts said. These rich images let us see the impact of GOES- 16 on the development of life-saving forecast for the first time.
It is expected that in May, NOAA will announce the geostationary orbit position of GOES-/KOOC-0/6, and in June,/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/,the satellite will be used for weather forecast. According to agency officials,
