This is awesome, I work in Astronomy and what would be really cool is if you could get different space observatories on here with what they were observing, I know that's no small task but I could probably get you telemetry data for atleast a few :)

#34Wow. This is really beautiful? Can the code be customized to other spacecraft? I made a tracker for starlink satellites but think your visualization is much nicer. [1] https://jdsemrau.substack.com/p/code-clinic-tracking-starlin...

#36Can you think of a way to use your live cloud data as the background shader for https://github.com/sebosp/chartacritty ? I was also hoping to draw the iss progression through the earth, but sometimes people use terminals to actually read and may become confusing... For the rewind functionality you could look into rerun.io, not sure it's compatible with your current libraries but may be fun
There's a composite image with the clouds and earth at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk/images/8192x4096/earth.jpg that you might be able to use?

Same here
I don't suppose either of you have any content blockers installed in Safari? Someone on Reddit has mentioned that disabling content blockers fixed the globe not loading

#38For some reason this causes "A problem repeatedly occurred" on my iPhone 15. Reminding myself to try when I get home.
Reported it several times but no fix from Apple.
Most powerful iPhone crashes but 5 year old Samsung with 2GB ram works fine…

Awesome, maybe some negative effect over it, how often does it refresh?

#40Fwiw, there's also a set of monthly Blue Marble Next Generation[1] (2004), similar to the single Blue Marble (2002) used by clouds.matteason.co.uk. Snow cover is quite visible[2] - perhaps undesirable for a "are there clouds there?" ISS application, but nicer for a "loosely approximate Earth appearance". I used it years ago for an Earth seasons interactive - perhaps there's some way to get actual snow cover these day…
I do actually use monthly snow/ice cover images in both projects! They're in the repo for the live clouds service [0]. I created them using the monthly images you linked combined with the Blue Marble "Land Surface, Ocean Color and Sea Ice" image [1] [0] https://github.com/matteason/live-cloud-maps/tree/main/stati...
