Interestingly, I noticed this in aproximately real time. I had been checking up on the visible-light geocolor composite images every hour or so to look at the massive plume of Canadian wildfire smoke that was turning the skies in the northeast dark orange yesterday.

I haven't interacted with the GOES site or cared too much about the image output until the last 2 days, and the it immediately broke. Somewhat humorous to me.

This is a really cool page, never really thought about how much information you can squeeze out of just IR (recommend selecting the dust RGB and reading the PDF it links to explaining just how dust is tracked etc)
I strongly recommend the Downlink app for this!

https://downlinkapp.com

It downloads false-color images from GOES and Himawari NRT and sets them as desktop images.
