The Eclipse via Satellite
Yesterday’s eclipse as seen by the GOES-East weather satellite. I just grabbed the full-disk geocolor JPGs with wget
and stitched them together with ffmpeg
.
BTW, If you’re wondering why the clouds remain in view as night falls to the East, it’s because the geocolor image is a composite of “true color” daytime and a Multispectral Infra-Red image for the night part. GEOS-East and West capture I think sixteen basic wavelength bands that can then be composited into various combination images. You can see them all, plus various composites, at the GOES Image viewer
