This is the right answer. It's a European GEO satellite that's approaching its assigned longitude of 9.5° East (~ Germany). This is more or less the only viewpoint of Earth it will *ever* have; that's how geosync works.

Here's a table of (I think?) all of the GEO weather satellites and their positions,

(If you follow up on any of these, you can find real-time views of the Earth from different vantage points).

Dunno, maybe the person/team are from Europe? Or maybe if you center it on Asia or the Americas you get a side full of just ocean?

It's just the default (0,0) latitude/longitude
