Zoom Earth shows the latest near real-time satellite images and the best high-resolution aerial views in a fast, zoomable map. Explore recent images of property, storms, wildfires and more. Previously known as Flash Earth.

Live (near real-time) images are updated every 10 minutes via NOAA GOES and JMA Himawari-8 satellites, and every 15 minutes via EUMETSAT Meteosat satellites.

Daily images are provided by services from NASA’s GIBS, part of EOSDIS. NASA-NOAA satellite Suomi-NPP, and MODIS Aqua and Terra provide continuous imagery for “AM” at local 10:30am, and “PM” at local 1:30pm.

Historical images are sourced from Microsoft and Esri.

Storm tracks and forecast maps are created using data from NHC, JTWC and IBTrACS.
