About Earth Live
Earth Live turns the whole planet into a live, explorable map — every earthquake, storm, wildfire and weather system, rendered on an interactive 3D globe the moment it happens.
What it is
Most of what's happening on Earth right now is public knowledge — the USGS tracks every earthquake, NASA logs natural events, NOAA watches every hurricane, weather models cover every coordinate. But that data is scattered across a dozen scientific websites most people never visit. Earth Live brings it together on one beautiful, real-time globe that anyone can open in a browser.
Where the data comes from
Earth Live is a visualization of official, public data — it doesn't generate or predict anything of its own. Sources:
- USGS — United States Geological Survey, global earthquake network
- NASA EONET — Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (wildfires, storms, volcanoes, ice)
- NOAA / National Hurricane Center — tropical cyclones, forecast cones, watches & warnings
- Open-Meteo — global weather models, forecasts and air quality
- where the ISS at? — live International Space Station position
Who makes it
Earth Live is built and run by Filip Slovenec, an independent maker based in Zagreb, Croatia. It's an indie project — made with care, shipped solo, and improved constantly.
How it's built
A browser-native WebGL globe, fed by live public APIs, hosted on Vercel with a Supabase backend for accounts. No app to install; it works on phones, tablets and desktops.
Earth Live is a visualization and educational tool. It is not an official forecasting service and must not be used for emergency or safety-critical decisions — always follow your local authorities and official warning services.
