Here is a real-time full color view of the Earth from the Himawari satellite, updated every half hour or so. This geostationary weather satellite is stationed over the longitude of Japan. The view is complete with orange sunglint off the ocean. You can click on the link to see the latest update.

We can look around for the full resolution real-time data archive that would be about 11000 pixels wide. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

I've tried ( but failed ) to find a source for the full res data - it's just so stunning.

Not the full res data, but I was able to locate four higher resolution partial disk images, which if pieced together make a nearly full disk image. These can be found by looking at the raw full disk URL, e.g. http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/imgs_c/6/visib...07290500-00.png, then change the number after "/imgs_c/" to 1, 2, 3, or 4. A number 0 gets you what appears to be a zoomed in region near the east coast of China.
