GPM Earth Spin Animation

Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is to improve ongoing efforts to predict climate, improve the accuracy of weather and precipitation forecasts, and to provide more frequent and complete sampling of the Earth's precipitation.

This animation shows the Earth rotating with a stationary viewer. It allows us to see the Terminator of the Earth.    This animation shows the Earth rotating with a stationary viewer. It allows us to see the Terminator of the Earth.
