(01) What it is
The project
You can spin a 3D Earth and zoom straight down into a detailed local map. The globe and the map share one camera, which is what keeps the switch between them smooth instead of jumpy.
It pulls live hazard data from NASA and USGS, weather from Open Meteo and dated satellite images from NASA GIBS. Every data point shows its source and when it was last updated.
