Is there an actual video and not a 3.81 MB 600x338 slideshow?
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/videos.php
this website has videos, they're still 4MB slideshows. OP's slideshow and the ones in this link are made using pictures from the GOES-east geostationary weather satellite. it takes a picture of the same half of earth about once every 10 minutes 24/7/365. 1 picture every 10 minutes over the whole 4 hours of the eclipse will be hard to turn into something smoother than a slideshow

another part of the site has jpgs of the whole hemisphere and zoomed in areas of the US and Canada in different sizes up to 21696x21696px. you can get recent pictures by clicking the download images link. it only has images going back about 10 days so if you want to get eclipse pictures from there you need to get them by April 18 2024. maybe someone else with more video making ability and motivation than me can turn the super big pictures into a super big slideshow.
They launched a satellite and called it goes east
That’s fucking hilarious
Thank you.
I tried but my cheap drone won’t fly that high
Oh, so that's why literally everyone was complaining about the clouds.
What kind of twisted joke is that cloud band? Come on!
it's nice, but missed chance to go from black to black for a perfect loop
