"Our situation
on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here,
involuntarily and uninvited,
for a short stay, without knowing the why and the wherefore."
"This
picture is based on data of the Meteosat satellite. It
seems to always "stand" above the same point, because it rotates
exactly with the rotation of the Earth. The satellite serves one
of the typical space applications, i.e. observation of weather
patterns and weather forecasts, including warnings of gale and
thunderstorm." (German Aerospace Center DLR)
