Here's Earth On Earth Day
The day just finished, April 22nd, is a globally-recognised day of awareness for recycling and hybrids and all the good stuff. To celebrate, the European Space Agency released this rather wonderful image of our special planet on its special day. Read more… #Earth, #Esa, #ImageCache, #Meteosat, #Seviri, #Space

Meteor vapour trail, 15th Feb 2013 on Flickr.
An image from the SEVIRI instrument aboard our Meteosat-10 geostationary satellite. The vapour trail left by the meteor that was seen near Chelyabinsk in Russia on 15th February 2013 is visible in the centre of the image. This image uses data from the High Resolution Visible (HRV) channel of SEVIRI that can produce images with both high spatial and temporal resolution. You can view near real-time imagery from the HRV channel here and feel free to browse our other imagery products at the same location. Original data Copyright EUMETSAT 2013

"MSG-3 has captured its first image of the Earth, demonstrating that the geostationary weather satellite is performing well and is on its way to taking over operational service after six months of commissioning.
The satellite was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket on Thursday, 5 July from Europe’s spaceport at the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana.
The UK made a significant investment in the MSG series. The Met Office invested £89M to fund operating costs and a further £6M was contributed by the government towards the programme development. There has been a significant return on this investment with involvement from over 50 science and industry partners from the UK.
On board the MSG-3 is the 200th instrument built by RAL Space to be launched. The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget instrument (GERB) was built by a UK consortium led by RAL Space. This landmark demonstrates the proficiency of the UK’s space industry in developing world class science instruments."
