overwatch.earth is a free, real-time 3D globe that overlays 31 live global data layers on one interactive Earth — flights, ships, earthquakes, wildfires, satellites and more. It aggregates open, public real-time feeds and places them on one map; the data belongs to the agencies and communities that produce it, and every source is credited. No login, no tracking beyond privacy-respecting first-party analytics (IPs are never stored raw).
