Very nice and valuable feature. Only complaint is that it is extremely slow to load on my PC. The speed on my phone app is just tolerable.

Guys, the product description needs much more details. Your work is tricky, Say that the info comes from EUMETSAT it is not enough (you are using the logo of EUMETSAT without rules.) The acquisition rate of typical MSG is of 15-min and you are showing with a time step of 1min? Please identity the satellites (names,/version), channels, specify how do you transform 15-min in 1min. Are you correcting the satellite pics for the zenith angle? The ways how do you show the things is only cosmetic for visualization purposes and do not involves any type of calculation, please be correct with the science community!

@rui25p Hi, this is the first version of the visualization and we are going to improve it. Logo of Eumetsat is according to our contract with our NMI / Eumetsat. Frequency of the images is different for each satellite, so we always show the latest frame depending on the time you choose on timeline. I admit that there is no information about the specific images acquisition timestamps. This could be improved. We are combining images from six satellites (Meteosat-8,10,11, Goes-16,17 and Himawari-8). In Europe we are showing images from Meteosat-10 with 5 minute frequency. Corrections: we are reprojecting images to Webmercator projection, but nothing more. We are also playing with correction to sun direction, but only the diffuse light so far. We are not able to handle specular reflections or scattered light from the sun near the horizont.
