[Video] A year along the geostationary orbit
Spectacular imagery. Intellectually I knew typhoons/hurricanes are a part of the global weather system, not things that randomly "happen" to humans, but this really put that into perspective, among other things.
"Himawari 8, Japan’s most advanced meteorological satellite, travels 35,786 km above Earth, at more than 11000 km/h. It observes the Eastern Hemisphere day and night. For one year we look through the eyes of the distant observer. From solstice to solstice, from pole to pole, from storm to storm, we watch Earth’s beauty and fragility, weather’s wonders, forces, and disasters. From space, it all looks miraculous."

P.S.
I hope everyone is handling the Coronavirus as well as possible. My state just instituted a month long shelter in place policy.
