An interactive web page<\/a> with almost a years (2022) worth of GOES ABI Full Disk visible images at 11 UTC. The beginning date is the (northern hemisphere) summer solstice in 2022 and the end date is the winter solstice in 2022. A user can play the animation, as well as annotate the images. For example, draw lines along the terminator<\/a> for different times of the year. One example might be to compare a solstice to an equinox. Can you estimate the day of the summery equinox?
