Yesterday, 08:24 UTC (10:24 CEST) marked the June solstice - the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the moment Earth's tilt points us most directly at the Sun. ☀️ 📹 Animation showing yesterday's sunrise 36,000km from space. [1/2]

From geo orbit EUMETSAT's Meteosat satellites watch this in real time: the 'terminator' line dividing day/night reaches its most slanted angle of the year bringing longer days in the north while the Southern Hemisphere heads into winter. 📸 Yesterday 21 Jun at 06:00 UTC [2/2]

Vous l'avez peut-être remarqué hier soir ou ce matin au lever du soleil si vous êtes dans le sud de la France : les poussières désertiques sont bien visibles dans le ciel. L'image #FCI @eumetsat montre bien l'étendu de l'export des aérosols venant du Sahara

4 people. 1 villa in Darmstadt. A borrowed table. That's how EUMETSAT began in 1986 under its 1st Director, the late John Morgan. 40 years later, we're operating some of the world's most advanced weather & environmental satellite systems. 🛰️ Learn more: bit.ly/3Qf9Kd4
