Blueturn Status

It is generated using real images from deep space, by a satellite of NASA called DSCOVR, located at Lagrange point L1, one million miles away from us.  You can browse the video interactively, and access a huge public database of images of the Earth at every instant since Summer 2015.  See the real Earth from a geostationary viewpoint, to better see the clouds moving, and get a 3D interactive weather animation.  Using an accurate 3D model of the Earth and its neighborhood, Blueturn now allows to switch between vantage points.  You can even unfold the Earth into a 2D map, using various projections patterns (Mercator or Plate-Carrée). *Enhance your view*.  This vantage point is at a gravity equilibrium between the Earth and the Sun, always on the line between them.  Use for your own good, the good of Mankind and the good of the Earth, by extending your environmental consciousness while seeing it everyday and everywhere.  It may be hard to see at first, but clouds are moving, just relatively slowly compared to the Earth rotation.  You will see the Moon's orbit at well as the exact Lissajous path of the satellite around L1, with the interference of the Moon's gravity. *Choose your reference*.  You can bookmark noticeable events, like solstices, weather events, eclipses or even Moon crossings. *Clouds are moving*.  However if you sit and watch the Earth as it turns around, you will see the "fluidity" of the atmosphere.  You can switch away from the real images and apply some filter to better see the lands.  See how the Earth tilt angle from the Sun changes through the seasons.  Zoom out enough and you will see the satellite, the Moon, the L1 point and the Sun.  Therefore its camera, called EPIC, always see the fully sun-lit, day side of our planet, rotating in 24 hours. *Relax*.  This is the most complete and real video you can get on a screen today.
