Zoom Earth
Live Earth DataLive satellite imagery of the entire planet, updated in near real time.
Why it made the cut
Most people think of satellite imagery as something you check once, during a hurricane. Zoom Earth keeps it live and browsable all the time — storm systems, wildfire smoke, snow cover, updated as fast as the satellites pass over. It's the rare live-data site that's genuinely pleasant to just wander around in, not only useful in an emergency.
