Japan’s New Earth Satellite Captures an Image of Earth Every 10 Minutes
Looking down at Earth from 22,000 miles out — almost three times farther than the diameter of the planet itself — allows a view of the globe as a massive organic system, pulsing with continuous movement... The satellite can see features down to about a third of a mile in size — twice the resolution of similar weather satellites that watch other parts of the globe... NOAA and NASA aim to launch a similar advanced weather satellite, GOES-R, in March 2016
