A watch deck for the whole sky.
Live NASA, NOAA and USGS data on one screen. The ISS overhead, the sun misbehaving, rocks swinging past Earth.
══ ABOUT ══
Observatory pulls thirty-plus live feeds into four consoles and puts them on a spinning globe. Earthquakes, wildfires, storms, solar wind, near-Earth asteroids, launches. All of it updating while you watch.
It started as a port of cosmo-tui, a gorgeous terminal dashboard for NASA's open APIs. I wanted that same feeling in a browser, dressed like a night-watch deck on a space station.
It's honest about its data. If a feed goes stale or comes back empty, the header says DEGRADED instead of pretending everything is LIVE.
Inspired by and ported from cosmo-tui by Rahul Tomar .
══ ON THE BOARD ══
- 01
Four consoles
Earth, Sun, Sky and Orbit. Hazards, space weather, planets and tracking, each with its own layers.
- 02
ISS in real time
Orbit math runs right in the browser, so the station's position updates several times a second.
- 03
Thirty-plus sources
NASA, NOAA, USGS, JPL and more. EONET events, DONKI, Sentry impact risk, fireballs, APOD.
- 04
Keys stay server-side
Every API call goes through an edge proxy with caching. Nothing secret reaches your browser.
