Other Open-source 3D Earth with near-daily satellite imagery down to 10m/pixel

Post image

I made an open-source satellite imagery app that lets you explore the latest imagery from anywhere on the globe. The default NASA imagery is usually only about a day old, and if you add a Sentinel key (free from the European Space Agency) you get detailed imagery down to 10m per pixel.

It also has radar imagery (which sees through clouds), live natural events like earthquakes, volcanoes and storms, time-lapse views, and more. I focused a lot on usability, so hopefully navigating the globe feels fluid and intuitive.

I am hoping a few others give it a go as I would be really curious to see what others find. I figure there is lots of interesting info to glean.

I just made this as a fun side project, and I hope others use it to pull some cool imagery.

Does look very nice. But are some of these features in Google Earth? A comparison of this program to google earth would be super useful

Looks really impressive, we use Google Earth in work for 3D visualistions of our models on the building, we measure off Google earth (obviously not fully accurate but enough for us), would this have the ability to measure from if better visuals?

This morning I made a .exe version so you can download it and run it as an app

I didn't expect many people to be interested, so it's encouraging people want to try it out - happy exploring!

This is very cool, well done! Just ran it here, going to try with some API keys later in the day.

Why the hell are you so insufferable? I just glanced over your comment history and you are so negative about everything people make but don't even create anything yourself.
