I feel that GOES satellite imagery is a hidden gem, I'm surprised more people aren't working with it.

The imagery is available at https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/ but is better explored at https://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/

I have personally built a Twitter bot to collect and animate imagery throughout the day. I have it running for two locations currently.

Continental US: https://twitter.com/satellite_CONUS

NorthEast US: https://twitter.com/satellite_NE
