DSCOVR — spacecraft, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
DSCOVR keeps a constant watch on the solar wind for space-weather warnings, while photographing Earth’s full sunlit face every day.
Cosmoscope draws DSCOVR on its real trajectory, from mission ephemeris rather than an artist's impression. Open the live 3D view to see where DSCOVR is right now, how far it has travelled from the Sun, and how long its radio signal takes to reach Earth. Scrub the timeline to replay the route that took it there.
