That's actually a pretty big difference in color perception.<br /><br />It won't be able to tell green apart from purple, but honestly how much purple do you get in a view of the Earth?Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711511939799573430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-50018313415965409292017-01-27T15:39:45.306-08:002017-01-27T15:39:45.306-08:00Gee Harrison, overreact much?

You sound like the alleged adults in charge of the EPA currently having a collective meltdown: <br /><br />http://freebeacon.com/politics/epa-employees-coming-work-tears-trump-win/<br /><br />This neatly exemplifies everything wrong with governmental agencies run amok. Nothing but federal political hacks posing as responsible adults. These are supposed to be professionals working in the sciences, not babies in dire need of having their diapers changed. But please, don't let me stop you from being wholly ignored during your unhinged ranting. <br /><br />Eric Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376653214948517679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-67972777900571377892017-01-27T01:27:58.157-08:002017-01-27T01:27:58.157-08:00The weather satellite will be blown up and shut-do...The weather satellite will be blown up and shut-down in about 3-6 months or so with NASA and NOAA and DOI and the EPA being purged from the system. It'll go from being in color, to being black and white, to nothing at all, so enjoy it will it lasts. What a joke. What a joke. It would be funny, except it's so sad. NOAA is on the brink of being completely wiped out; obliterated. Having worked for NOAA as senior executive recruiter, there is a ton of waste at WFMO, but I have to tell you, what is coming is pure chaos in compared to NOAA and the NWS being gutted.Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571866947383901858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-23523833341609880942017-01-26T02:27:27.943-08:002017-01-26T02:27:27.943-08:00http://www.space.com/35423-goes-16-jaw-dropping-vi...http://www.space.com/35423-goes-16-jaw-dropping-views-of-earth-and-moon.html .. More general. And in response to "Michael's" question here just above if I may: within the main text of the article linked to here, it says that "GOES-16", is in fact only one of four satellites—similar. Presumably, set to be positioned (in time.) somewhat similarly to where those currently supplying imagery are fixed.richard583https://www.blogger.com/profile/00415086002282750839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-38469014458509695492017-01-25T18:29:39.243-08:002017-01-25T18:29:39.243-08:00JohnK- they are colorized the same.

If I remember correctly, earlier NASA color pictures of an entire hemisphere took a hundred images stitched together to produce the same image. This is a real improvement.
