coreyspowell, 18 days ago Well that's cool! These are the shadows of the 2017 and 2024 North American solar eclipses, observed by the GOES weather satellites & superimposed on each other. The images show the Moon's shadow at 10-minute intervals. https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/archives/58552 #science #space #weather #nature The size of the Moon’s shadow on the Earth during the total solar eclipses were very different between 2017 and 2024. These images use ABI band 3 (0.86 um), since the land background tends to be bright (due to reflection off vegetation), hence giving more contrast with the dark shadow.

coreyspowell, 18 days ago Here you can see the Moon's shadow sweeping across the Earth on April 8, captured by the GOES-16 weather satellite. Instead of storm chasing, the satellite took a break and did some eclipse chasing. https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/archives/58552 #science #space #earth #weather #nature GOES-16 ABI Band 3 enhanced to highlight the eclipse shadow. These are 1-minute Mesoscale sectors over the 5-minute CONUS sectors, tracking the shadow every minute as it moves across North America. (Animation from M. Gunshor, UW/CIMSS).

spmatich, 18 days ago @coreyspowell is that the same abi band 3 described here (near infrared) http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/abi/factsheets/ABI%20Fact%20Sheet%20Band%203%20(Veggie)_FINAL.pdf You don’t happen to know of a similar eclipse video taken from satellite in the thermal infrared range? Might be abi band 14 according to this link https://www.weather.gov/media/crp/GOES_16_Guides_FINALBIS.pdf

coreyspowell, 18 days ago @spmatich I don't know, but I'm sure the CIMSS team could tell you more. Maybe start with Tim Schmit: https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tims/
