Earth, Right Now
At this moment, satellites, seismometers and orbital trackers are recording what happens on our planet. Most of what they see stays in specialist databases. Here it comes together on a single globe.
You see the line between day and night as it stands this second. You see the storms, wildfires and icebergs that are active right now. You see the earthquakes of the past day and the satellites circling above us. Every point is real and comes from public measuring networks.
A civilization that wants to last has to know its own planet. That begins with seeing it whole.
What no network sees
Each network on this globe measures one thing. None of them measures everything. Between the stations lie wide gaps: in the deep ocean, over remote land, in the sky itself. A planet is never fully watched. Knowing where the gaps are is part of seeing it clearly.
This view will grow. New layers are added as open data becomes available.
