I've been developing for years and posted almost none of it. Part of it is never really knowing what the point of posting was. Here's the point I landed on: I pay monthly for apps that are supposed to help me sleep, move and eat well. That's a strange arrangement. So I started building my own instead. Free ones. I'm going to show some of the work here.

Dendritic drainage on the Colorado Plateau, USA. From the Greek dendron, tree. The branches never reached for the water, the water cut the branches. Geologists drew that shape from ground survey long before anyone looked down on it.

The Eye of the Sahara. A 40 km eroded dome in Mauritania: magma lifted the rock, wind and sand carved the rings. Captured in Terra from Sentinel-2 cloudless. 21.1°N 11.5°W Thanks EOX. Next: the Sun, in HelioViewer.

M2.2 Solar Flare, 06:34 UTC, nine minutes. This is a close-up of the Sun, it is a picture trough AIA 171. It only sees temperature and specifically iron, which glows at around a million degrees. Every loop here is plasma riding sun's magnetic lines that happens to be that hot.

Proof of concept coming to life. Terra currently stops at a fixed zoom to keep the 8K Blue Marble from falling apart. Soon that texture becomes fallback only, you can push to city level. Rivers and highways appear. Your house doesn’t.

Terra is also working perfectly on mobile. Create the scene how you like with the layers options, your preferences will be stored on your local device. Also explore outside of earth to watch the Magnetosphere, Sun and Space.
