A Year Of Sunrises

Hundreds of pictures of Earth, each taken at about 06:00 local time, show the terminator - the day/night line - over the course of one year. The Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit, the so the angle of the sunrise line tilts first one way and then the other over time.

You can see Africa and Saudi Arabia to the upper right, and clouds frantically changing each day.

The images were taken with the METEOSAT-9 Earth-observing satellite.

A beautiful vision of the Earth and the cycle it goes through. I wanted to share this video and seeing I screwed up on my last thread I thought this space might be used better for this purpose.

I hope you all enjoy.

Any thoughts?

Is this an experiment?

Possibly.

It was a dupe thread, so I deleted it before I got in trouble for not using the search.

I was going to reuse it but I thought it would have been closed by now.

I think I will, Give me a couple minutes.

Thanks, I wanted to share the video anyways so it gave me an excuse.

I loved the video and watched it a few times in amazement.

Great find! Love that video. Don't let the Inuit people see it though, they spook easy!

I'll probably watch it a few times too.
