I don't know if this will work on the 12th, but right now it just doesn't do much at all.

You press the play button and the timeline gets animated but nothing happens on the map at all.

You can stop doing this.

then what you don't understood? pressing play "today" of course does nothing try tomorrow

The banner is about the live button. It says nothing about the play button. The play button does in fact do "something", but what it does is pointless.

So, what I don't understand is what is the play button supposed to do? Also why submit this two days early if people cannot see anything until tomorrow? Come tomorrow, people will already have dismissed this as useless and forgotten about it.

My cat is smarter than you.... he knows what the play button does "today" at the right time and why he announce it days before... curious why nasa says us days before the eclipse too.....
