The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has shared the first imagery from GOES-18 (Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite), it’s latest weather satellite, which sits on a perch in geostationary orbit observing the Western Hemisphere of Earth. It is the most advanced weather satellite ever sent into space and has a powerful array of instruments and sensors. Anytime you check the weather on your phone, tablet, or get it from any other source, you can thank GOES.
