There are tons of Earth observing satellites producing gorgeous detailed images, but I'm trying to figure out if any of them is capable of producing full-globe images of Earth on some regularly updated basis. Does anyone here know of such a beast? Are there weather monitoring satellites that do this?

Geostationary satellites caught the 22July2009 Eclipse!
Here's a striking shot over the Pacific Ocean from the GOES-W satellite at 0300 UTC: Hi-res zoom of same region: And here is an image from MTSAT over Asia, comparison with the day before image shows where the shadow is: NASA's Earth Observatory has color images taken at 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM Tiawan local time. (0300 Z = 11 AM Tiawan time?): http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=39520 -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Geostationary satellites caught the 22July2009 Eclipse! I don't know much about this... but shouldn't the geostationary satellites catch a solar eclipse every time? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
