I wonder how hard it'll be to capture some of these images yourself.

NOAA decommissioned it's last LRPT/APT capable satillites.

Russia has a couple open access 137MHz sats available Meteor M2-3 and M2-4 I believe they have become flakey with age, damage and other issues.

Those you could stand in your garden with a simple vdipole antenna and a cheap SDR to capture images.

It seems like someone did just that recently! They used an SDRplay rather than a cheap RTL-SDR but the antenna is simple.

Somehow I thought this was going to be about a trading card game release.
