Overview

these methods provide checking and (trying to) fix the Tiles that we downloaded from the web. sometimes, the connection might be bad, and instead of an actual PNG for a Tile, we get a blank empty file. in other times, we get a special “no_image” png. This one is annoying. It IS a real picture, but it most CERTAINLY is NOT a picture of the Earth. (These normally come back during 0240 and 1440 timestamps) – Himawari does not take photos when the Sun is in the view of the Satellite. Well, we wouldn’t be able to see the Earth at those times anyway due to the Sun’s brightness.
