I feel that GOES satellite imagery is a hidden gem, I'm surprised more people aren't working with it.

The imagery is available at https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/ but is better explored at https://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/

I have personally built a Twitter bot to collect and animate imagery throughout the day. I have it running for two locations currently.

Continental US: https://twitter.com/satellite_CONUS

NorthEast US: https://twitter.com/satellite_NE

It's amazing to see storm formation visually.

That is very cool, thank you. I just sat there and stared at it and had a Pale Blue Dot moment. This thing is so beautiful and here we are fighting about everything.
github link to source? would live to build one for PNW
Very cool!
