A more detailed look at our Blue Marble.
Welcome to the new age of weather satellites. GOES-16 , a joint NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration project, is set to track everything from solar flares to hurricanes and it will do so with a high-tech camera on board. That camera is responsible for an impressive new view of Earth.
The image, released by NASA and the NOAA on Monday , gives us a crisp view of North and South America and the swirling patterns of cloud cover that reach across the continents and oceans.
