When Satellites will be visible above the Black Rock Desert, Nevada

MODIS is a satellite that images the Black Rock Desert Region.

The basic idea is that we look for terra 7-2-1 MODIS data and display it

Go to https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/
Pan and zoom until you have a nice view of the Black Rock Desert
Click on the red "+ Add Layers" button
In the search window, type "terra 7-2-1" and click on the red box at the right of "Corrected Reflectance (Bands 7-2-1)" to select it.
Close the search window by clicking on the X.
Now you can change the time scale to make a movie or a gif.
