===What about the Himawari?===
The Himawari is said to be a geostationary satellite, operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). It's purpose is to support weather forecasting, tropical cyclone tracking, and meteorology research.
There are many who believe the Himawari provides live video of the "globe" earth, however the images have been proven to be stitched and curve faked using the blue marble data set, which utilizes a flat map and mapped onto a sphere shape. <ref name=Himawari></ref>
