If you guys like this NOAA app, you'll probably like NASA Worldview too: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/labs/worldview/

It's more focused on Earth sensing data products, but it has great satellite imagery and overlays.

...and don't forget Nasa's Java SDK, World Wind, which is specifically designed for this type of data. One of the first projecs I worked on, in order to learn Java, was a simple project using world wind. It's a really fun tool.

Hey very cool! I work as a contractor within the NASA Earthdata team and I'm always finding interesting things like this as I learn more about the program. NASA is a great steward of what I think is some of the most important data we have about our planet. Much of it is publicly available, but not many people know about it.
