| Earth from space, as of ~30 minutes ago. This visualization uses imagery provided by GOES-R, a geostationary earth-observing satellite, to generate near-realtime true-color images of the earth at (fairly) high resolution. (There's also animated video, top-left.) NOAA provides raw data from the GOES satellites available in AWS and Google Cloud, if you want to play with/remix it. The source data is incredibly high resolution - 100 or 400 megapixels, depending on layer. Significantally better than the imagery weather.gov exposes. Everything's provided as netCDF, but it takes some time to find the layer you're looking for. - https://www.noaa.gov/organization/information-technology/lis... - https://storage.cloud.google.com/gcp-public-data-goes-16/
(ABI-L2-CMIPF is the product I use) The source code is on GitHub. It's built with a Python backend and some pretty simple javascript to handle auto-refreshing.Should be fairly simple to hack around with. - https://github.com/bnitkin/goesr-video Hope y'all think space imaging is as cool as I do! |
