Rectified Meteosat 10 animation of the moving lunar shadow. The satellite images have been remapped to present a viewpoint from a higher latitude, rather than the equator. Those parts of the scene that are not visible from the satellite’s equatorial location have been replaced with a coloured map background. Source: EUMETSAT.
