You *might* have heard about this over the weekend ...
Check out what our satellite captured:

On Saturday, May 30, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM) on board @NOAA's #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️ detected a bright flash near Massachusetts.

But this wasn't lightning—it was a bolide, a bright meteor that exploded in Earth's atmosphere. Residents throughout the region reported hearing a loud boom as it streaked overhead. - NOAA Satellites

Cities create their own heat. 🌆🌡️

Built surfaces such as asphalt and concrete absorb and store heat during the day, then release it slowly after sunset.

Designing cooler, greener, more inclusive cities is now a public health priority.🏙️

The world generated 2.6 billion tonnes of waste in 2022 — a figure we didn't expect to hit until 2030. 📈 Without action, waste volumes will reach 3.9 billion tonnes by 2050, undermining jobs and growth.
