Why Don't I See Anything For Today?
The website attempts to update the most recent images every day on the hour from Noon to 8PM. During the update intervals, incomplete or invalid images may temporarily exist, leading to blank images or images with pieces missing. Check back later and the images should be fixed, though sometimes there will be days where no new data is retrieved or will simply be incomplete due to the flight paths of the satellites.
Browser Caching
For the most recent images to display properly, you may need to clear your browsers cache:
Firefox Users:
  • click Tools -> Clear Private Data.
  • Make sure that cache is checked (you can uncheck other items).
  • Press 'Clear Private Data Now'.
