A big change of scenery for the 900 million WeChat users. From Monday through Thursday, the well-known start-up page for the popular messaging app will change.

For the past six years, the page has shown the famous man's-first-look-at-the-earth image from NASA. That is shifting to an image taken by China's very own meteorological satellite, the FY-4, WeChat's image of earth also will change, to show a view of China. The satellite went into full operation on Monday, after being launched in December.
