Our local ISP has slowly been throttling back on our bandwidth.Unfortunately this means that we can no longer download from NASA the very large GOES satellite visible images. So, until further notice these images will no longer be available.Apologies to all.

The total solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 is said to be the longest eclipse of this century. For details on eclipse see NASA at:http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE2009/TSE2009.html.Found that the best satellite imagery is in the visible spectrum on the MTSAT-1R satellite:Link: http://internationalweatherarchive.org/satViewer.phpSatellite: MTSAT-1RSector: Full diskBand: VisibleStart Time: 2009

On January 6, 2009 GOES East satellite GOES-12 was placed back into operation. We have modified our back-end systems to once again use the GOES-12 satellite for our GOES East feed.

Previous EUMETSAT imagery is no longer available.Fortunately, the new images are even better than before. We now have many more image regions and higher resolution from the Meteosat Second Generation and Meteosat 7 weather satellites.

We've made a small change to the satellite image viewer. The "Update" button has been removed.Now, whenever satellite image information pull down selectors are changed, you will see a message "Satellite info changed - Press Play button". Pressing a play button will reload the page with the new satellite images. Also note that you can press any of the following 3 play buttons:Play reversePlay
