Heres a composite photograph that shows the Earths Western Hemisphere, and heres a view of the Earths Eastern Hemisphere. If you dont want a live view, and really just want to see a beautiful view of the Earths hemisphere, check out these images produced by NASA. The weather systems youre seeing in those images are happening on the planet right now. What is really cool about these satellite views is that theyre live. But you really cant see any specific spot on Earth with any detail. From these images you can see major weather patterns affecting parts of the Earth. For example, NOAAs Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) release images of an entire hemisphere of planet Earth every 3 hours. If you want to go way out and just see a satellite image of the entire planet, there are some solutions for you: weather satellites. But what are some ways you can get access to these satellite and aerial images of your house?

Just look up into the sky any night, and youre sure to see satellite after satellite passing overhead. The vast majority of these are relaying data to and from the Earth, and many are equipped with high power cameras.

Imagery is captured at approximately 10:30 local time for “AM” and 13:30 local time for “PM”. HD satellite images are updated twice a day from NASA polar-orbiting satellites Aqua and Terra, using services from GIBS, part of EOSDIS. The heat sources overlay shows areas of high temperature using the latest data from FIRMS. Tropical storm tracks are created using the latest data from NHC, JTWC, NRL and IBTrACS. Weather forecast maps use the latest global model data from DWD ICON and NOAA-NWS GFS. Data is limited to areas with radar coverage, and may show glitches/anomalies. Radar detects rain and snow in real-time. Blue clouds at night represent low-lying clouds and fog. EUMETSAT Meteosat images are updated every 15 minutes.Ĭity lights at night are not real-time. Live weather images are updated every 10 minutes from NOAA GOES and JMA Himawari geostationary satellites. Explore beautiful interactive weather forecast maps of rain, snow, wind speed, temperature, humidity, and pressure. Watch LIVE satellite images with the latest rainfall radar.

Track hurricanes, tropical storms, severe weather, wildfire smoke and more. Zoom Earth visualizes global weather in real-time.
