GOES-18 weather satellite reveals Earth!
NOAA recently launched into space GOES-18 He shared the first images from the weather satellite. Stunning images show the satellite’s approximation of Earth 35 thousand kilometers orbiting on Advanced Basic Viewer (ABI) captured by the device.

Each one electromagnetic spectrum It can collect data about the Earth’s atmosphere, lands and oceans by sensing different wavelengths of energy throughout. meteorologists By analyzing the incoming data, it can examine various interesting events in this way.
NOAA has the following statements about ABI on its website:
ABI provides high-resolution images and atmospheric measurements for short-term forecasts and severe weather warnings. ABI data is also used to detect and monitor environmental hazards such as wildfires, dust storms, volcanic eruptions, turbulence and fog.
