Done. Thank you!

It’s based on the example for 2-pass encoding, with tweaks for things like QuickTime support: https://gist.github.com/celoyd/90cc919105248a2ddc95

I know it’s odd, but I wanted it not to be visible all at once.

Oh, hello! I enjoyed your motion interpolation experiments, and I look forward to the blog post.

Is there a good public reasonably live feed of this data? Right here: http://himawari8.nict.go.jp

Also, it'd be nice to be able to pause it and really take in the colors. You can zoom in on the NICT browser: http://himawari8.nict.go.jp Their color mix is more cloud-oriented, so…

Sorry. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this project, it’s that video support is hard. I’m happy to take advice (preferably in the form of ffmpeg flags).

Well-worn gray: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo It’s a loose comparison, since both asphalt and the moon’s surface vary. Plus, there are tricky things like specular reflection…

Casual readers may not get your reference – the idea for DSCOVR literally came to Al Gore in a dream. I still think this is hilarious. One can indeed argue that DSCOVR has merit, a…

I think they’re just responding to my joke with a joke ;)

I made this, and I’m happy to answer questions. (And to politely ignore contentious remarks about how I characterized GOES-R.)

Discovery at Udvar-Hazy is why I started this project. I saw the serial numbers on the tiles – almost close enough to touch on tiptoe – and remembered reading about some kind of da…

How odd. I just switched fonts entirely (though still from Google Fonts). If anyone has a sense of what’s going on here, I’d love to fix it properly.

> The environmentalist threw a fit about this "glue" and it was replaced with a glue that all the engineers said was not as safe, in regards to the tiles staying attached... This i…

Fixed (I hope). Thanks for reporting.

In the images in the blog post and the live map? Those aren’t pansharpened at all. If we do add pansharpening in a later version, it’ll likely be naïve, without spatially aware mod…

I wrote that Mapbox post, and helped with some of the processing that happens to get this data on AWS. Yep, you get multispectral resolution of 30 m, and with pansharpening ( http:…

it could be in the order of magnitude of 1.8cm per year at some places of Antartica and Canada. Here’s a visualization of elevation over time recorded by a GPS observatory at Baker…

And the third microsat company with operations coming online soon is Planet Labs: http://www.planet-labs.com Robinson Meyer at “The Atlantic” did a nice overview two months ago: ht…

The video field of view is 1.1 by 2 km: http://skybox.com/uploads/10/08/imageryandvideospecsheet.pdf Purely speculating, not going on anything they’ve said: theoretically when they…

Exactly. This is why distant city lights often twinkle even more than stars do: there’s more atmosphere between you and them than between you and the stars. Another effect here is …

I took a break from dealing with an in-band null problem in image data to check HN, and here’s this. Oof. Don’t represent missing data with a value in the same domain as real data.…

I’ve worked with NASA and USGS a fair deal both for fun and professionally, and this is typical. They are extremely competent and sincerely want you to have good data. They are als…

I’d be interested to know the ratio of the L0 data size to the L2/3/4 data[0] size – in other words, how many downlinked bits of sensor readout are processed per bit of useful scie…
