It is now officially summer in the Northern Hemisphere! Yesterday's #SummerSolstice marked the start of the season, and this yearlong view of Earth's changing sunlight angle is provided by NOAA's #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️. Made from images collected daily at 11:50 UTC, this loop shows how our planet's tilt drives the seasons.

Extreme heat from the #BabylonFire and other wildfires across Utah and Colorado led to the formation of pyrocumulonimbus clouds earlier this week. These clouds were captured by NOAA’s #GOESWest (#GOES18) 🛰️ over an eight-hour period on July 6. The Babylon Fire has burned over 100,000 acres and is 11% contained.

Loggerhead sea turtles 🐢 don’t just migrate willy-nilly. As it turns out, they follow a narrow band of ideal chlorophyll and heat levels—which stretches across the Pacific and moves north and south with the seasons! In honor of #WorldSeaTurtleDay, see how data collected from tagged turtles and NOAA’s #satellites reveals this migration pattern!
