What is the DSCOVR satellite?

DSCOVR orbits at the L1 Lagrange point, 1.5 million km from Earth. Its EPIC camera takes full-disk images of Earth every 1-2 hours, always showing the sunlit face.

EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) provides real-time data on active natural events. It tracks wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, and more, updated daily from satellite sources.

Can I get historical data using the EPIC camera?

Yes, you can browse images by specific dates since the DSCOVR satellite began taking regular photos in 2015, allowing you to see Earth on a specific past day.
