Obsearth opened to everyone on 23 June. Three months, four releases, sixteen changes.

Nearly all of them answer one question: is this image worth opening?

· cloud now shown on every one, before you open it
· forecasts clearly marked as forecasts
· what satellites were already scheduled to image, now browsable
· a list of the places you keep coming back to
· checkout takes you back to the picture you actually bought

All of it came from people telling us what got in the way.

Europe publishes its satellite schedule in advance, which is not something most people know.

A fleet of Earth watching satellites circles the planet, and the plan for where each one will point is released ahead of time, down to the minute. So you can look at a map today and see a photograph that has not been taken yet.

This is the strait between Java and Sumatra. The volcano in the middle of it, Anak Krakatau, started erupting on the 4th of September. The ash closed airports on both islands and grounded nearly three thousand flights.

The next photograph of it is due tomorrow morning. And the weather forecast for that exact moment says the sky above it will be 97% cloud.

So the picture is already booked, and already known to be almost useless. Much better to find that out today than to wait for it and be disappointed tomorrow.

Looking up the schedule is free. The weather forecast that sits on top of it is part of the paid plan.

Comparing two places in a web browser usually means two tabs and a lot of squinting. You look at one, click across to the other, and try to hold the first one in your head. Half the time the zoom level is different anyway, so whatever difference you think you spotted might just be a trick of scale.

Putting them side by side solves it.

On the left, Lake Powell, photographed on 19 August. On the right, Lake Mead, on the 17th. They are the two largest reservoirs in the United States, they sit on the same river about 300 kilometres apart, and the Grand Canyon runs between them.

Two satellite photographs, taken two days apart, on one screen at one scale. What you make of them is up to you, but at least you're comparing them properly, rather than from memory.

If you look at Barcelona's coastline from directly above, you can still spot the pattern that makes the city famous: block after block laid out in a near-perfect grid, with the corner of every one cut off at an angle.

That's deliberate. An engineer named Ildefons Cerdà designed it in 1859, and he cut those corners so horse-drawn carriages could turn without mounting the pavement. Nearly two centuries later you can still count them from space.

This photograph was taken on 17 August, with the sky almost perfectly clear - just three per cent cloud.

The next clear pass over this spot is forecast for 29 August, with a satellite predicted to find no cloud at all.

We’re not building a new version of spectator.earth…

…because what we’re working on can hardly be described as a new version. It’s a completely new tool.

It took us several years to realize that our current version had reached its limits. We've always wanted to deliver the best satellite earth observation tool possible, but initially, we lacked the experience to bring our vision to life. Over the past 2-3 years, we experimented with different approaches, trying to find a shape or form that fit our original concept – but it wasn't until now that we've finally found the right formula. Now, with full confidence, we can say we’re building the earth observation satellite interface we always dreamed of—shaped by your feedback and by what we ourselves wanted to use.

We’re working our asses off to make it as good as possible, so we ask for a little patience. But 2026 will bring completely new ways to work with earth observation satellites.

Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. This new spectator.earth wouldn’t exist without you. Enjoy the end-of-year break, get some rest, and get ready for 2026. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.
