THE VIEW FROM ABOVE

Earth, seen
from orbit.

Free space cameras, weather satellite streams and observation loops. Explore the planet across regions, or open several views together.

What “live” means here. Space cameras send video; weather streams animate processed observations. Image timestamps are the authority for freshness. Provider interruptions and recorded footage can occur.

A few ways to watch

Follow an orbit

Open NASA or Sen for station camera views. Darkness may simply mean the station is on Earth’s night side. NASA’s viewing playlist may include past broadcasts.

Follow the weather

Use the EUMETSAT streams here, or the NOAA, JMA, KMA and SLIDER viewers for detailed time controls and regional products.

Watch together

Load several players to compare regions. Filters keep loaded views visible. Close individual players or use “Close all players” to stop them.

Players connect to YouTube or NASA only after you load them. Playback remains under the provider’s control; if a player is unavailable, use its official viewing link. This page does not test or claim that a stream is currently broadcasting.

Distinct daily visits, cumulative

Counting since 2026-10-10 (UTC). As on To the Infinity, one IP address counts once per UTC day; this is not a count of registered accounts or unique people across all time. Shared networks and automated traffic can affect totals.

Your approximate current location: Columbus, US. This blue marker is shown only in your response.

Locations are approximate IP-derived city/region estimates, never GPS. Public markers require at least three cumulative daily visits. Satellite Views stores aggregate locations and short-lived keyed daily identifiers outside the public site, not raw IP addresses. Map boundaries are for orientation, not a statement of jurisdiction.
