Realtime Satellite pictures of the World
On this websites you find a selection of 4 current satellite views,
showing visible satellites (Europe), current cloud coverage, earthquake activity, storms, hurricanes, active volcanoes, and the moonphase. Updated every 60 minutes. http://www.ehabich.ipme.de/satellite/ |

From the sun, there should be nothing except a full, un-shadowed disc. In fact, with the sun below the equator, the view shown would be from a point directly above the equator at the same longitude as the subsolar point. |
