Daily Earth View
Our planet, seen whole — every day.
About
Daily Earth View is a web application that surfaces NASA's EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) satellite imagery in an engaging, accessible format. Every day the site fetches the latest full-disk Earth images captured by the DSCOVR spacecraft at the L1 Lagrange point, then presents them in an interactive timeline so visitors can watch clouds shift and continents rotate across 24 hours. Beyond the daily view, users can browse a historical archive dating back to 2015, compare images side-by-side across dates, explore educational articles on climate science and Earth observation, and read curated space-news headlines. The site is designed for scientists, educators, students, and anyone curious about Earth from a planetary perspective.
