Earth Today: A Digital View of our Dynamic Planet is an online version of an exhibition from the Rocketry and Space Flight gallery of the National Air and Space Museum. “This web site provides a quick look at the information presented in the Earth Today exhibit as well as links to many of the near real-time data sets used to study the Earth.”

This exhibit is divided into two sections. Our Dynamic Planet looks at the atmosphere, hydrosphere, earth at night, geosphere, and biosphere. Earth in Near Real Time covers global cloud cover, sea surface temperature, earthquakes, global biosphere, and global water vapor. Each section offers a series of related links for further study.
