ABOUT THE PROJECT
EARTH RIGHT NOW
EARTH RIGHT NOW (ERN) is a continuously running visual experience inspired by the living planet. The broadcast combines a global Earth view with changing daylight and location-based moments such as sunrise and sunset.
It is a visual simulation and broadcast, not a live satellite camera feed. Events, imagery, and information shown in the stream may vary over time.
Make Earth your background
Open the live player, select Full Screen, and enjoy the Earth view on your monitor. For uninterrupted viewing, keep your device awake and your internet connection active.
