NASA Worldview is an interactive web application for browsing over 1000 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers from NASA's Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS). It is built with Node.js and OpenLayers and supports daily-updated, near-real-time imagery on desktop and mobile.
Use cases
- browse near-real-time global satellite imagery
- monitor wildfires, floods, and air quality with daily imagery
- view historical satellite imagery spanning decades
- explore Arctic and Antarctic full-globe imagery
- view geostationary imagery in ten-minute increments
- download underlying satellite imagery data
- build custom map clients using GIBS services
When to choose
- you need an interactive viewer for NASA GIBS satellite imagery
- you want near-real-time Earth observation for time-critical monitoring
- you need a self-hostable web mapping app for satellite layers
- you want a reference implementation for building GIBS-based clients
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose GIS desktop application with analysis tools
- you need offline satellite imagery without network access to GIBS
- you need non-NASA imagery sources out of the box
- you need a lightweight map library rather than a full application
