is a user-friendly web app that shows a world map in which the user can see events such as earthquakes and wildfires (current and past) as well as different layers with information about average temperature, clouds, snow and ice, ocean depth and a fabulous true-color view of the Earth.
The main goal is to provide the user a comfortable and intuitive experience to visualize updated data referred to our planet. Also there is a real-time calculation of the current position of several notable satellites including the ISS. While not enabled on this version, it is possible to let the user choose which satellites they want to track.
