Summary

Description
English: At 1:15 a.m. CST this morning, the NOAA-20 satellite passed over a line of severe storms that spawned several tornadoes in central Tennessee that wreaked havoc and left at least 25 people dead. “There’s a really good possibility that there may be more,” Gov. Bill Lee said during a press conference on Tuesday morning. He explained that it’s still early and that there are a number of people injured and others who are still missing. The main image above was captured by the NOAA-20 satellite's VIIRS instrument , which scans the entire Earth twice per day at a 750-meter resolution. Multiple visible and infrared channels allow it to detect atmospheric aerosols, such as dust, smoke and haze associated with industrial pollution and fires. (In this case, it utilized its high resolution infrared band 5.) The polar-orbiting satellite circles the globe 14 times daily and captures a complete daytime view of our planet once every 24 hours.
