Next generation page for weather sat info Tutorial is attached to the "New User" button.
This is nice. "Purpose" is some Flash thing I can't read but the weather satellite maps (USA, for now) are very nicely done.
You can see the lights coming on as the sunset line sweeps across the country. Except, of course, where they're off ...
on the linked page, click the "animate" button. you're given a bunch of choices of what you want to see. i chose "most recent" at large resolution (50% of original) and got a cool animation of night falling over america. i recognized the storm system forming over my city from that same time earlier tonight (I think).
