The blue square think isn’t just a blue square thing. I’ve watched the north pole for days. The blue screen overlay changes shape, sometimes a triangle, sometimes a rectangle, sometimes it has five sides, sometimes I have seen multiple overlays. I’ve seen a round shape, I have kept a copy. The north pole is ALWAYS covered with something. Why is that?

Hi Kathy. To answer your point. If one thinks that the blue square is simply a lack of weather coverage, which to be honest is what it blatantly is, there is no real reason to be suspicious that the blue square, or satellite blind spot, changes shape and even slightly location. The world is turning, the satelites are orbiting, I don't think weather satellites are geo-stationary.
Don't forget that the images will be processed with images from mulitple satellites, they aren't covering the poles, but if data is missing at one collation interval from a couple of satellites which cover one area then the blind spot will be distorted towards them as that data is not there. Then at the next point, data is missing from other satellites then the dataless blind spot will extend towards their path.
So you have a permanent blind spot at the pole which is always there, but it extends and changes shape one way or another depending on what data is collected (or lack thereof) from the satellites that orbit near the pole.
