Peek a Boo
GOES East image submitted by " rel="nofollow Mike Mattei
Mike Mattei writes about the image he sent: Each day I check the weather to see what the day will be like, some times I’ll do daytime observing, otherwise it's night observing. Today while checking the satellite weather image I see the Moon peeking over the limb of the Earth, a space eye view from the geostationary GOES weather satellite, I have never seen this before in my everyday weather watching. The image was taken around 11:45 am UT on Dec 4, 2011.
I think this is an image of the Moon - what else could it be? But I haven't checked its size, phase or looked to see if its position is correct for the date and time. And I can't find this image on the NOAA servers to look for higher resolution. What evidence can LPOD readers find to reassure me that this LPOD really does include the Moon?
