The Earth looks amazing in this first global view from NOAA's new NOAA-21 imaging satellite, which launched in November 2022.
This image from NOAA-21's VIIRS instrument shows ocean color around the southern tip of Florida and Caribbean as seen between Dec. 5 and Dec. 6, 2022.
This image shows northern India as seen by NOAA-21's VIIRS instrument, with smog from prescribed agricultural burns, the Himalayas and Tibetan plateau visible in the north. VIIRS provides vital information to scientists about Earth's oceans, atmosphere and land. It can detect differences in the ocean's color, telling scientists where phytoplankton are, or whether dangerous algal blooms have formed along human-settled coasts. The instrument's atmospheric data can help scientists forecast and monitor storm movement.
