A year through the distant eyes of meteorological satellite Himawari-8 – a hypnotic stream of Earth's beauty, fragility and disasters.

Timecodes for meteorological/astronomical events (approximate, list to be completed):
March 9th 2016 Total Solar Eclipse: 4:44
June 2016 Kamchatka Wildfires: 7:26-8:02 (visible as large amounts of smoke emitted from a point in western Kamchatka, eventually filling a large ocean area) - also: June solstice/polar day north pole
July 2016 Super Typhoon Nepartak: 8:37-8:49
Aug 2016 Typhoon Lionrock: 10:43-11:09
Sep 2016 Super Typhoon Meranti: 11:14-11:24
Dec 2016 December solstice/polar day south pole: from 13:25
Attribution note on the data, which the images in this film are based on:
Satellite observations were originally processed by the Bureau of Meteorology from the geostationary meteorological satellite Himawari-8 operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Access to this dataset was provided by the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), which is supported by the Australian Government.
