The first images from the new weather satellite

This looks like it could be pretty cool stuff. I'm particularly impressed by the ability to see and report lightning strikes so quickly...

The other weather instrument, the Global Lightning Mapper, will continuously track and transmit all lightning strikes across North America and its surrounding oceans. Developed by Lockheed, it can detect the changes in light on Earth and thus the rate and intensity of lightning in thunderstorms and hurricanes.

well if that video is to be believed, not only is it flat, but it is two-dimensional. I looked at the back of my monitor while it was playing and I didn't see the earth.

Good to see you, sir.

Oh, i'm always around. My job just makes it easier or harder to make my presence known.

Hope all in the Lone Star State is treating you well.
