The planet, live: every earthquake ripples where it struck, hurricanes spin with their real forecast tracks, wildfires burn, volcanoes glow, and the aurora dances over the poles — all on a beautiful 3D globe, straight from USGS, NOAA, NASA, and the Smithsonian. Tap anything for its story. A quake card shows the actual USGS ShakeMap and what its magnitude really means. A hurricane card shows the storm photographed from orbit minutes ago. Every one of 1,214 volcanoes carries its photo and geologic history. THE LIVING GLOBE • Live earthquakes, sized and colored by magnitude, rippling as they arrive • Hurricanes and tropical storms with NOAA's forecast track • Wildfires tracked from orbit by NASA • The aurora oval, forecast by NOAA and animated like the real thing • 1,214 volcanoes from the Smithsonian's catalog — recent eruptions glow • Tectonic plate boundaries: flip them on and the quakes explain themselves REPLAY THE WEEK Scrub through the past seven days and watch 400 earthquakes strike in sequence — the Ring of Fire literally draws itself.
