Rooftop cameras caught this footage at the NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus Thursday.
“Look near the Capitol for the tiny orb that only becomes visible well above the horizon,” the lab wrote on Twitter, adding it was “a gray morning” for Wisconsin, but “without a cloud in the sky.”
