What it does

Four ways to explore the world.

01

Live Earth View

Continuously updated satellite data streams to your globe — showing current cloud cover, precipitation, lightning, storm tracks, ocean temperatures, and the live position of the sun and moon. Your globe is never the same twice.

02

AI Explorer Mode

Ask anything. "Show me where volcanoes erupted this year." "Where did the Silk Road run?" Your globe understands the question and projects a visual answer — no app required, just speak or type from any device.

03

Historical Journeys

Animate human history from the first migrations out of Africa to the fall of Rome to moon landings. Watch empires rise and fall, trade routes bloom, and exploration unfold — frame by frame, in the span of a minute.

04

Your World

Mark every country you've visited, every city that matters to you. Share a map with someone you love. Build a custom overlay for your work, your research, or just your favorite baseball teams. It's your globe.

For the design-conscious

The most beautiful object on your desk.

The best objects are the ones you can't look away from. Curious Earth is that object. A conversation and exploration piece that contains the entire world — seen and unseen.

Curious Earth streams real-time satellite and sensor data directly to the globe — every 10 minutes. See current cloud formations, active storm systems, sea surface temperatures, lightning strikes, and aurora probability zones as they exist right now. The globe is never showing you yesterday's world.
Ask your globe anything. Speak naturally or type from the companion app: "Show me all active volcanoes," "Trace the route of the Silk Road," "Where is it sunrise right now?" The globe's AI interprets your question and renders a visual response on the sphere within seconds.
Choose from 300+ curated historical animations — from the first human migrations to the Age of Exploration to the Space Race. Each journey animates over minutes, with narration available through the app. Perfect for curious adults and families alike.
