Compare this to the above image, taken on Feb. 9, 2020, by the polar-orbiting NOAA-20 satellite. What a difference a few decades makes! The NOAA-20 satellite's VIIRS instrument scans the entire Earth twice per day at a 750-meter resolution.

Description
English: Compare this to the above image, taken on Feb. 9, 2020, by the polar-orbiting NOAA-20 satellite. What a difference a few decades makes! The NOAA-20 satellite's VIIRS instrument scans the entire Earth twice per day at a 750-meter resolution. Multiple visible and infrared channels allow it to detect atmospheric aerosols, such as dust, smoke and haze associated with industrial pollution and fires. The polar-orbiting satellite circles the globe 14 times daily and captures a complete daytime view of our planet once every 24 hours..
