A supercool animation of satellite images shows a half year of Earth's evolving seasons.
This is what Earth looked like to the GOES-16 weather satellite on Dec. 21, 2021, the December solstice. That was the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the shortest in the south. See below for an animation of GOES images covering every day from the June solstice to this one. As a potent New Year's winter storm bears down on a broad swath of the United States, spring may seem a very long ways off.
The animation consists of one image of the full disk of Earth acquired every day at about 11:00 UTC by the GOES-16 weather satellite. Also, as the spacecraft orbits, a sensor called the Advanced Baseline Imager generates one image of Earth's full disk every 10 minutes. That allows it to offer excellent views of the weather in the Western Hemisphere as each day progresses.
