GOES-16 covers America, if I see it correctly (currently on mobile, sorry). Does anyone happen to know if there is something comparable for the other side of the pond, e.g. Europe? I tried to search ESA, but haven‘t found anything (again, on mobile, so that might be the reason).

From the article: > The satellites’ orbits are configured such that one of the three passes within almost every point on the globe every three hours. So these cover Europe too.

  That's correct, thank you - but this only applies to the raw satellite link. The data itself is not available for download for the european region, afaik - that was what I was asking for. :)

  But the view displayed on the website isn't changing. There's an "east" page displaying an amazing view of South America and a "west" page displaying mostly the Pacific Ocean. Images supposedly update every ten minutes, but those are the only two views you get.

Some of the Landsat ones have a web service to download any covered area of earth. They pass over the same area about every 14 days though, so you won’t get a life feed of a location.

Trying to find that as well! The best I could find for now is the EUMETSAT feed[1], but it is updated every hour and not as good as GOES-16 at night.

  Both GOES and MSG (the EUMETSAT version) have similar abilites at night (the both rely on infra-red) The GOES nighttime image is not a real image, but a composite of the IR band (similar to [1]) and a night lights image (probably from VIIRS [2]). You could do something similar with MSG if you wanted (e.g. [3]) [1] - https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/MSG/IMAGERY/IR108/BW/FULLDISC/index.htm https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/MSG/IMAGERY/IR1...
