## Track satellites, the ISS and live Earth events in 3D

One planet, in real time. A single live view of Earth and orbit that also powers Learn.

## Modules

Spin the live globe, follow earthquakes, wildfires and storms as they happen, and open a map of the Sun, the planets and Pluto.

Watch the Sun’s activity, put the same globe on the Moon at its true position, and take guided lessons that make sense of what you see.

- [Live 3D globe](https://spacesphere.sygnito.com/en/live): A live 3D Earth with real sunlight and the day and night line. Spin it, zoom in, and click any marker to fly the camera there and read the details.
- [Solar System](https://spacesphere.sygnito.com/en/solar): A live, heliocentric map of the Sun, planets, and Pluto
- [Earthwatch](https://spacesphere.sygnito.com/earth): A fast 2D map that puts live earthquakes, weather alerts, wildfires and storms in one place.

## Live layers

Satellites and launches, each cached server side and linked to its source.

- **Satellites**: Live satellite positions propagated in real time from public orbital data. Track the ISS and other objects as they move over the planet.
- **Rocket launches**: Every upcoming launch worldwide, with a live countdown, the launch window, current status, the webcast link and the mission patch when available.

Upcoming launches with a live countdown, the rocket launch window and the current status.

## Quakes and events.

Earthquakes and natural events, each cached server side and linked to its source.

- **Earthquakes**: Live seismic events as they are recorded, with magnitude, depth, intensity and review status, plus a direct link to the official event page.
- **Natural events**: Wildfires, severe storms and volcanoes as they unfold, with location, status and links to the reporting sources.
