NOAA's new GOES-19 CORuN1 chronograph has captured unusual images of Earth's night side, including city lights and the Great Lakes. While NOAA attributes this to the satellite's geostationary orbit during equinoxes, the narrator questions why previous GOES satellites in identical orbits never captured similar images.
James Kaufman will issue report today.
NOAA answers question about new GOES-19 chronograph.
Earth through a chronograph.
Something unusual is happening to NOAA's new Core 1 chronograph.
Once a day, a planet drifts through the field of view.
Believe it or not, it's Earth.
On August 26, the camera caught the Great Lakes
and city lights of North America.
They're saying that this is the night side of Earth.
Those are city lights.
Please wait till the end because I have something to show you
and some questions that beg to be answered by Noah.
Chronographs are designed to observe the sun.
How did Earth get into the picture?
Core 1 is unlike previous chronographs,
which make their observations from a Lagrange point far from Earth.
Instead, Core 1 is in a geostationary orbit.
You'll find out that all three of them are in the same
geostationary orbit at the same exact distance in just a moment.
Around the time of the equinoxes, Earth slips between Core 1
and the sun, revealing its night side to the chronograph.
How could Earth slip between something that's orbiting 22,236 miles?
Closer to our sun than Earth.
I guess the orbit is different than GOES-16, 17, or 18.
But wait, I'm about to prove that it's identical,
because I've looked them all up.
So they tried to make it sound like it was a special orbit.
But I went and looked up GOES-16, 17, 18, and 19,
and they're all in what they call, at least, a geostationary orbit.
At an altitude of 22,236 miles, this is GOES-16,
here's GOES-18, geostationary orbit, 22,236 miles
above Earth, or closer to the sun than Earth, correct?
And here's GOES-19, in a geostationary orbit,
22,236 miles above Earth's equator.
Now, what confuses me is they all have a Core 1
or core chronograph,
but none of the others picture Earth at any time of the year.
I'm sure that it's, well, that I just don't understand,
but I don't know why they pointed out that it
was in a geostationary orbit at 22,236 miles,
which is exactly where GOES-16, 17,
and 18 also are with their chronographs.
They've never shown a picture of Earth, have they?
NOAA finished their explanation by stating,
Earth is not a regular guest star in Core 1 solar movies.
And that was it.
Well, like you saw,
I decided to look up the actual orbits of the other GOES satellites,
and, well, they were identical.
They have chronographs on board.
And they're at 22,236 miles from the equator of Earth,
but they never catch Earth because
they're obviously looking the opposite way at our sun.
How does this new Core 1 help us to determine
if coronal mass ejections or CMEs are ejected
from solar flares
or filament eruptions during these times of the day if the equipment is
lit up like daytime?
The answer is that the equipment will
be useless during these times of day,
which makes little to no sense to me.
But we have our answer from Noah.
My question is, what do you think?
Again, this must be above my pay grade,
so I'm going to move on to bigger and better things.
Did they screw up somehow with the orbit?
Or is it really in the same orbit as the other ghost craft
but somehow sees earth
in the equinox periods?
