The real Earth as a live globe: NASA maps, atmosphere, day and night, markers, routes and orbits - all computed in your browser.
The globe
#A hyperrealistic Earth built on NASA public-domain maps - Blue Marble by day, Black Marble city lights by night, real cloud cover - all matched to one projection. Drag to orbit, wheel to zoom.
Looks
#Eight one-click moods: classic Blue Marble, a night side full of city lights, the dawn terminator, a clean tech globe with borders, a dramatic low sun, a storm-cloud front, deep space with comets, and a pure white studio.

#Renders your current design behind the transparent globe, so you see the overlay exactly where it will land.
Sun, sky and surface Extension 6 items #
Where the light stands and what the surface shows.
Sun around / Season / Show the sun
#Places the sun: around the equator and up or down with the seasons; the day-night terminator follows, soft the way the real one is. Switch the sun itself on and it appears as a blinding core with a huge diffuse corona - size and color are yours, and the color tints the light on the whole world.
City lights
#NASA Black Marble city lights that glow only where it is dark - slide the sun away and watch the cities come on.
Atmosphere
#The blue halo of air around the limb, day-blue in the light and deep indigo in the dark, with a soft rim on the surface itself. A separate Glow dial adds a wide blue shine around the whole planet, from a whisper to a full aura.
Clouds
#Real NASA cloud cover on its own shell, lit by the same sun. Thin it out, switch it off, or leave the weather as the satellite saw it.
Relief & Ocean glint
#Mountain ranges catch the light through a relief map derived from the day picture, and the sun leaves a glossy glint on water only.
Stars, shooting stars & comets
#A living starfield of individually drawn points - each with its own size, tint and twinkle - never a stretched bitmap. Add shooting stars that burn across the view and a comet that rides through the picture once per loop; all of it repeats exactly, so the video loop closes.
Countries Extension 2 items #
Natural Earth borders and highlights, matched to the same projection as every map on the globe.
Markers & routes Extension 3 items #
Click the globe to plant a marker; the marker even knows which country it landed in.
Markers
#A click on the globe plants a marker at that exact place, prefilled with the name of the country under it and editable into anything. On insert, named markers become REAL text layers beside the globe - restyle or move them like any text.
Routes (Chain / Hub)
#Great-circle arcs between your markers: a chain from city to city, or a hub with every spoke from the FIRST marker. With two markers both shapes are the same single arc - the difference begins at three. Arc height and line width are dials.
Satellite orbits
#Up to four inclined orbit rings with satellites riding them - and in the video loop each satellite completes exactly two orbits, so the loop stays seamless.
Export Extension 3 items #
A transparent still, one full turn as video, or the globe live on your website.
Insert
#Freezes the globe as a transparent picture on your canvas - a re-editable generator layer that reopens with every setting as you left it.
Video loop
#One full rotation of the globe as a WebM clip, download or Media Library. Seamless by construction: frame zero equals the last frame.
Embed (HTML)
#A tiny snippet that runs the globe live on your website - the maps load from your own site, visitors can spin the globe by hand, reduced motion gets a still, offscreen globes sleep.
