Pharos

Live globe, 2026

Pharos is a lighthouse for the sky: one dark globe that shows what is moving around the planet right now. Aircraft, ships, satellites, the whole Starlink constellation, each as its own layer, with the counts and the details in panels on either side. Zoom in to a coastline and the dots become individual ships; pull back and the satellites wrap the Earth.

North America with aircraft positions lit in orange — Aircraft over North America.

The globe from a distance, surrounded by satellite points — Pull back and the satellites appear.

The globe with the data panels on both sides — Layers on the left, details on the right.

The Moon with a stream of points around it — It doesn't stop at Earth.

A close-up of ship positions as cyan dots along a coastline — Ships, close up.

Europe on the globe with labeled cities — Europe.

Europe and the Middle East with a few points marked in red — Flagged events.

The globe covered in the Starlink constellation — The Starlink layer.
