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

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
