A Year on Earth from a Million Miles Away (climate, warm, moon)

Interesting. Don't get dizzy.


A timelapse made of thousands of satellite photos! The end shows the moon's shadow passing over our planet.

Watch a Year on Earth from a Million Miles Away in Minutes – RealClearLife

NASA has provided a perspective on our planet previously unthinkable for the earthbound. By creating a time-lapse video consisting of thousands of photos taken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCVR) satellite from a million miles away, it allows everyone stuck on the third planet from the sun to watch Earth cycle through a year in a remarkably striking way.

NOAA) use these images to track daily variations in vegetation and cloud cover. As EPIC lead scientist (wow, what a job title) Jay Herman says in the video, cloud cover helps dictate how warm or cool our planet is, so monitoring changes in cloud patterns over time is an important task for climate scientists.

This is amazing.

I looked at every month during the spin and was like "wow, I wonder what I was doing at that time".

Thanks for posting this.
It was cool.

Wow, cool to see how the tilt changes through the video. By December you could hardly see north america. Also Antarctica in the summer looked like a giant octopus with all those storms stretched out like little tentacles from it, they looked like they were slapping the earth. The arctic looked the same once it appeared back towards spring and summer. Man, that was one whole year of our life right there, just a bunch of spinning and wobbling.
