"European Space Agency (ESA) is putting recent pictures of the Earth (http://www.esa.int/miravi) (taken 2 hours before) online using Envisat. To avoid filling up their disks too quickly, only the bmp of the last 30 days are available but jpg are kept. Also, only region receiving light can be seen, which explains why no recent pictures of Thailand are available."
