I work at the European Space Agency as the mission scientist for the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 next generation missions.

I mainly post nice pictures of the Earth from space!

Note: Not an official ESA account, opinions are my own and mine alone!
17 hours of #Hurricane #Melissa seen from space compressed into 9 seconds.

Weather sats are vital for monitoring and forecasting Hurricanes. Without them, our forecasts would be much worse - increasing the danger posed by these monsterous storms.

An amazing change in the colour of the sea due to #Typhoon #Ragusa.

The first pic was taken by the @esa_earth Sentinel-2 mission a few days before the typhoon, the second pic taken after the typhoon, just a few hours ago.
