I wrote to a weather expert to see if they could identify what we are seeing in the pictures posted by TheXPig, this is the response...
quote:
The anomaly you refer to is not merging of 2 satellites, but of sequential pics by the same satellite. There is major overlapping. If you watch the pic long enough it shows the overlapping of the satellite.
As the satellite goes around the globe, north to south, the earth rotates. Then it takes the same pic as last time but about 15 degrees East.

Therm,
Thanks. And that makes sense, on the animated image. But it just doesn't make sense on the single shot still. I dunno. But thanks a bunch for the "legwork" on that one.
