GOES19-GYX-GEOCOLOR-600x600.mp4
Summary: A satellite time-lapse showing cloud movement and the day-to-night transition over the Northeastern US on August 25, 2026.
This video presents a GOES-19 Geocolor composite satellite loop captured on August 25, 2026. The imagery spans approximately six hours, from 16:20Z to 22:40Z, showcasing the diurnal cycle over the Northeastern United States and adjacent Canadian provinces. Initially, the region is visible under daylight, with scattered white cloud formations across the green landmass. As the video progresses, the Earth's rotation leads to a gradual dimming, illustrating the transition from late afternoon to early night. By the end of the loop, the landscape is dark, and the subtle glow of urban lights begins to emerge, contrasting with the remaining cloud patterns. The data is provided by NOAA/NESDIS/STAR and processed by GYX.
