EUMETSAT 8d ago

Yesterday, 08:24 UTC (10:24 CEST) marked the June solstice - the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the moment Earth’s tilt points us most directly at the sun. ☀️ From geostationary orbit, EUMETSAT’s Meteosat satellites watch this play out in real time: the ‘terminator’, the line dividing day from night, swings to its most slanted angle of the year, providing extra daylight over the north while the Southern Hemisphere heads into winter. ❄️ This animation shows yesterday's sunrise from 36,000km in space.
