There is no doubt that we live on an ever-changing planet, Earth Observation provides a great tool to monitor and track these changes. NASA's daily satellite imagery is freely available online and now can be used as basemaps in CARTO, allowing for near real-time visualizations of the entire earth or specific dates. The Global Imagery Browse Services provide two images available on CARTO: one for the day and one for the night, with a latency period of 5 to 9 hours from satellite image acquisition to public access. This feature makes it perfect for visual storytelling and Earth analysis, enabling scientists, journalists, and storytellers to combine imagery with their own data or other available open data to create insightful maps.
