Here's the one of the moon, I can't remember where I found it originally, so I just copied it to my server.

Edit: For some reason, the default "Gnome Image Viewer" in Linux fails to display this image, so I have to use GIMP to see it.

Can you open the tap on the bandwidth ? 549MB @ 120-330kB/s is gonna take a while

I'll see what I can do, I normally run about 3-4 Mbps upload speed, and about 15 down, but Comcast has been flakey over the past week.

Edit: Currently uploading at about 3 Mbps, which is around what it should be according to Comcast. If it's still slow it's probably just because that 3 Mbps is being divided among everybody that's downloading.

What is the resolution of this image? Not pixels, but in meters.

Having worked at a satellite imagery processing station in the past, I'm calling BS on this one.

This one looks better:

Yeah look at all the purple in the clouds. Definitely 'shopped.

It depends on what variable it is. It's clearly not a true color image. It's probably measuring radiation coming from Earth on wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.

OP's image is 105MB. A GOES full disk image is about 429MB [visible channel only]... and is only 1km resolution.

A bit more info on the image

http://gizmodo.com/5...of-planet-earth

"The images... ...combines four light wavelengths, three visible and one infrared. The orange you are seeing here is the vegetation... ...The 3 reflected sunlight bands can simulate a conventional red-green-blue color picture. The near infrared channel is a vegetation indicator, since plants reflect near-ir as well as green"

If you're on windows grab search everything It may be faster in sorting by size and just checking through that

can filter search *.jpg then sort or whatever works
