NASA/NOAA | First Images from NOAA's GOES-14 Weather Satellite

The video covers the launch of the D4 rocket carrying the GOES satellite, which has been renamed GOES-14. The satellite provides high-resolution weather images, aiding in severe weather prediction. The first image from GOES-14 shows weather patterns over the U.S. and the Atlantic. The video highlights the satellite's advanced technology, including its ability to capture stable images from 22,000 miles away. Historical satellite images, like those of Hurricane Katrina, underscore the importance of such technology in public safety and weather forecasting.

How does the resolution of the images from Ghost 14 compare to real-world distances?
