You'd think with all the money this satellite cost it would at least have a color camera instead of an old black and white one.
Um, it's a weather satellite. For cloud pictures, it "sees" in b&w visible light and infrared, the two colors needed to see water vapor in all its forms. They're doing science with that satellite; not art. =)
