Time for yet another megathread of my favourite satellite pics.
This time I have 123 images processed by me in 2025 *.
Various dates, random places.
Most of them were taken by Sentinel-2, some by S-3 and one or two by Landsat.
*There's one more pic that isn't mine, but it's so good 😊

And another 3 for the Poseidon Pool.
Love to see it!
Not sure why the picture shows an Australian P-8A (especially since its procurement wasn't through FMS); III3B2 hints maybe?

The АРКТУР SSBN concept is the strongest contestant for my no 1 sub spot overtaking Pr 971/885.
Very interesting concept with СУРРОГАТ-В LUUV/-AUV and completely overhauled tail section/ propulsion, designed for the (upcoming) race to the Arctic.
Though it unfortunately might stay a concept only

For the last four years Max Verstappen was unstoppable but this year, Lando Norris made it.
Is this a sign we're going to see big battles in 2026 between Max, Lando and Oscar?
Excited for the new 2026 rules and a lot of new teams/constructors joining.

First quality public photo of China’s trimaran semi-sub.
Second image is my sketch based on satellite imagery while it was hidden under tarps(!). Of course some differences, but I was right it is a semi-sub(!). Overall pleased how much I got right
