Is there a good public reasonably live feed of this data?

How awesome would it be if we had that kind if quality available from all "sides"... (Ok, yes, one could mostly build displays of blue spheres. But fancy ones ;))
Any reason why we don't have several of these at all points?; or do we and I just do not know about it? - p.s. love the site, thank you
Europe’s weather authorities are extremely stingy with their nearest equivalent data – their attitude is that the observations are for science or for money, not for silly websites.

Feel free to provide an email address for us to complain.

Fantastic! Thank you! I've cropped several as desktop wall paper.
Why not make a cron job that does that automatically every couple minutes ;)
That's the plan! It just need to be intelligent enough to find interesting lighting.
There's another satellite, DCSOVR, that takes photos of the daylight side of the earth several times a day. It's not as up-to-date as this footage, but it's always fully lit. http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Wow, DSCOVR. typo
