Real-time dashboards of what's happening on Earth
We build live monitors from public data and stream them 24/7. Every monitor states its sources, explains its methodology, and shows when it was last updated. No paywalls, no accounts.
Monitors
Earthquake Monitor LIVE Every quake on Earth, scored by how many people it actually affects — not just by magnitude. Data from USGS, updated every two minutes.
Aurora Forecast IN DEVELOPMENT
Will you see the northern lights tonight? Visibility odds per city,
from NOAA space weather data.
European Grid Monitor IN DEVELOPMENT
What is Europe running on right now — generation mix and carbon
intensity, from the ENTSO-E transparency platform.
Why this exists
A lot of public data is published in formats meant for machines or for specialists. It is accurate, free, and almost unreadable. These dashboards do one thing: turn that data into something you can understand at a glance, and keep it running so you can check it any time.
Each monitor adds a layer the raw feed does not have. The earthquake monitor, for example, does not rank events by magnitude — it ranks them by how many people live near the epicentre, which is a much better proxy for whether an event matters.
On sources. Every monitor lists exactly where
its data comes from, with links. Where we compute something ourselves, the formula
is written out. If a feed goes stale, the dashboard says so instead of showing old
numbers as if they were current.
