GOES-14 first image

Very cool! shame not colour but ohh well.Its between this or the volcano pic for my background Helluva alot of detail aswell,are they going to release a colour version soon?

Our mother is as beautiful as ever was.

Why is the cloud patch just near where central & south America join so much brighter than anywhere else, just 1 small patch close to centre of picture. Makes it look like when you get a reflection of a light flash from a camera.

So your telling me that all that space junque and statelites some in high orbit and not one little flicker? Not one byte of debris, not one bright star, not one critter, not one piece of ice nada zip and you say its not CGI?

One word - Beautiful!!

Now my Screen Saver too!

Lets see the Chinese shoot that puppy down!
That thing is way out there. Very cool picture.

Like someone else mentioned earlier though I'm wondering why the Yucatan Peninsula is lit up like a Christmas Tree. (May not be the Yucatan I'm not looking at the photo right now)

Edit - Nevermind, it is Brazil and it is nothing more than the reflection of the sun off the clouds. Must have been some tall thick clouds.

Lovely image and a good site to add to the daily viewing.

Thanks very much.

Brazil?

We should check our geography, again. I see the bright spot as a reflection from the waters of the Pacific Ocean, off the coasts of Colombia and Ecuador! ( Or, if your prefer, off the Coast of Panama... )

Yeah, M8T!

When I made the joke, zorgon didn't get it:

Dunno but you also can't see your house on that image.

You are funny... you can't see anomalies on Luna or Barsoom but you make wild claims about seeing your house on that pic.

Go figure?

Beautiful.

I've found my new wallpaper. Cheers for posting it.

That picture sucks ass! Where's the color?
Are we living in the 30's or something? Is our technology going backwards in time? Can I expect Polaroid to re-introduce their insta-matic camera tomorrow?

Good grief! Give me the color hi-res image!

reply to post by Phage


thanks for the pic.
Some of those clouds look exactly like coral!
Pretty cool.

for those people that like checmtrail conspiracies, how about them cloud near the west coast of the US?

...how about them cloud near the west coast of the US?

Already asked and answered, earlier in the thread. Remember, the "chemtrails" that people claim to see are always over their heads, n'est pas??? The "chemies" are convinced that it's an evil poison, over their heads!

But, why try to use logic when there's such a graphic image to view, and answer questions already....

I hate(maybe not) to say it, it was a pointless first line as well.
