While looking at weather satellite images, I found this one, 1986 title "challenger explosion".

So I looked in the archive for Feb 1, 2003 visible images for the Columbia disaster.

 

Oddly enough, there are no satellite images for that date, inspite of its historical significance.

 

It seems funny that they would have the Challenger accident posted, but not the Columbia.

 

They don't archive all the images for each day (that I have found), but they must have kept 1 Feb 2003 data.

They also DO NOT have 9/11/2001 images in their archive.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

If you look through the archives you notice that there's about a 4 day shift between viewing cycles, that is, if you are viewing the same area there will be 4 days between the day.

Mostly being this is a weather satellite the attention was focused from tennessee on 9/10/01 to tropical conditions in florida 9/14/01 missing the events in New York City on 9/11/01.

This is consistent with even the challenger explosion, which was observed on one of that same 4 day cycle period when observing weather conditions in the Floridian area.

Not true.

Go here and see what goes east covers.

 

You can zoom in on any area on the map and get an animated  image with 1 km visibility.  It is a pretty amazing weather sattelite site.

 

This afternoon, I'm watching a super cell develop in northern Miss using this web site and the animated zoom.

 

All you have to do is click on the area and the zoom goes (pardon the pun) to that place.
