A striking view of the partial solar eclipse<\/a> that happened on September 21 was caught not just by photographers on Earth, but also by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA<\/a>) GOES-19 satellite<\/a> orbiting high above.<\/p>\n

The images, highlighted in a post on X<\/a>, show how satellites continue to give irreplaceable perspectives on familiar wonders.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/p>\n

The GOES-19 satellite (also known as GOES-EAST<\/a>) is part of NOAA’s GOES-R series of environmental monitoring satellites. It was launched in June 2024 by SpaceX<\/a> aboard a Falcon Heavy and became fully operational in April 2025 when it replaced GOES-16.<\/p>\n

The satellite works in tandem with GOES-18<\/a> to scan half of the globe, continuously monitoring weather, environmental hazards, oceanic conditions and notably solar and space weather<\/a> phenomena.<\/p>\n

Where is it?<\/p>\n

The GOES-19 is around 22,236 miles (35,880 km) above Earth’s equator<\/a> in a fixed position relative to Earth’s surface.<\/p>\n

While monitoring for space weather, the GOES-19 satellite captured this image of the partial solar eclipse<\/a> that happened mid-September 2025. To capture this image, the satellite used the Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI<\/a>) which is designed to observe the sun’s hot outer atmosphere, the corona. <\/a>It captures full-disk solar images in multiple EUV wavelengths, which helps with detections of solar flares <\/a>and other solar activity, <\/a>but also captures unique phenomena like a solar eclipse.<\/p>\n
