Hello everyone!
I just run into russian Electro-L weather satellite's images, which takes or took every 30 minutes an image of the full half-disk of the earth and the images are downloadable online. I checked the RGB images in a sequence and found that it shows that antarctica is in light during the "winter" months (2013 november-2014 february). How does that fit to Flat Earth Theory?
Also, are these images also corrupt or something? I tried to stretch these "fish-eye" images to panoramic, but failed. Also the sun's reflection is interesting.
You can find the images here:

Here are some images.
I find it very interesting, now checking the infrared images which shows the surface in dark too.
I can't work out what you mean by "the password is as the user name".
Here is a brighter version of your photo:
Russian Satellite Photo - December 2015 I can't work out why you want to "stretch these "fish-eye" images to panoramic". This is no "fish-eye" photograph - it is taken from a satellite 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation.
The sun's reflection looks about as one would expect from a fairly smooth ocean (off the north-west coast of Australia).
There is also a Japanese site. It is quite easy to uses and does not need a password. You can access the data on

Himawari-8, Full disk on May 5, 2016 at 00:00 UTC The normal downloads are 800x800 pixel, but this was a very high definition 11,000x11,000 pixel (149 MB file), though reduced to 1,024x1,024 pixel here.
