#GOESEast captured these two dramatic views of #HurricaneFlorence shortly after the storm made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, NC this morning. Latest updates: go.usa.gov/xPYSG
Happy #WinterSolstice!
To celebrate, we collected an image per day over the last year from #GOESEast, taken at 1200 UTC, and looped them together. You can really see how the seasons change from #equinox to #solstice due to the #Earth's 23.5° tilt.
This imagery from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ is providing visible cloud imagery every 30 seconds of #HurricaneMilton as it pushes closer to Florida. Notice the frequent #lightning being picked up by the satellite's #GLM instrument as well.
Get the latest on #Milton:
Hurricane #Milton Advisory 19: Milton Approaching the Coast of West-Central Florida. Life-Threatening Storm Surge, Damaging Winds, and Flooding Rains Expected Across Portions of Central and Southwestern Florida. hurricanes.gov
Today's total #SolarEclipse was the only total solar #eclipse of the year. Although it was mainly visible from Earth in parts of South America, #GOESEast had a perfect view of the moon's shadow moving across the Earth.
For this #WednesdayMorning, take a look at #HurricaneLaura with @NOAA's #GOESEast satellite as the hurricane's convection bursts with lightning. As of 8 a.m. EDT, #Laura had winds of 115 mph and was rapidly intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico.

The #GOESEast satellite captured this close-up of the menacing eye of Category 4 #HurricaneFlorence this afternoon as the storm continues its trek toward the East Coast. Latest: go.usa.gov/xPrDD
This #FullDiskFriday, the #GOESWest satellite is continuing to watch the sobering amount of smoke from wildfires spreading across the #WestCoast of the U.S. @NIFC_Fire says there are 102 large wildfires and so far, more than 4 million acres have burned.
Like the famous "Earthrise" photo taken from the #moon, this image, captured by @NOAA's #GOESWest 🛰️on March 6, 2020, shows the moon rising over the Earth. Can you see it?
We hope you feel as lucky as we do to see this beautiful image on #FullDiskFriday and #FlashbackFriday!
