There are a few more of those images.
Australia-
Satellite is Elektro L N1, which is directly over the Indian Ocean. Apparently has an image periodicity of 30 minutes usually, but can be reduced to 15 minutes, and has a resolution of 1km for visible spectrum and 4km for IR.

It's the IR wavelength that's rendered to the visible spectrum, the IR waves were used to detect vegetation, so the red bits are some form of vegetation.
