About Earth Exhibit
The sky and the seasons are always doing something remarkable. You just rarely hear about it in time. Earth Exhibit fixes that. Track 600+ natural phenomena from around the world: auroras, solar and lunar eclipses, meteor showers, wildlife migrations, wildflower blooms, bioluminescent tides, tidal bores, and dozens of atmospheric optics like sun dogs, fire rainbows, and light pillars. For each one, Earth Exhibit tells you the thing that actually matters. Is it worth stepping outside for near you right now, and if not now, when. WHAT YOU GET • A live read on what's happening near you, scored from real weather, moon phase, darkness, tides, space weather, and seasonal timing, not guesswork. • A Field Clock that answers "what's worth going outside for today, and when": golden hour, the clear-sky window, tonight's best stargazing, and any sky events. • Alerts when something you're watching is genuinely coming together. A geomagnetic storm pushing the aurora south, a meteor shower peaking under clear skies, a seasonal window opening near you. • A Coming Soon view of upcoming eclipses, conjunctions, and seasonal events with real dates and countdowns. • Detailed guides for every phenomenon: where to go, the best time of day, what conditions you need, and what to expect. • A way to log what you've seen, with photos and notes, and browse what others spotted. BUILT ON REAL DATA Earth Exhibit pulls from trusted public sources, including NOAA space-weather feeds, Open-Meteo forecasts, astronomical models, and wildlife observation databases, and combines them into one honest answer per phenomenon. When it tells you something is worth seeing, that is because the conditions actually support it. FOR TRAVELERS AND BACKYARD WATCHERS ALIKE Search anywhere in the world to plan a trip around a phenomenon, or find out what is visible from your own backyard tonight. No account is required to explore. Sign in to save phenomena, set alerts, and log your own sightings.
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated August 29, 2026
A rebuilt setup screen. Choosing what to watch is now a simple list you can read at a glance, and eclipses are included from the start. Near You searches the whole catalogue instead of a short fixed list, so what you see is genuinely what is near you. The Sky and Aurora pages open straight away rather than waiting on the network, and the aurora forecast now uses the current reading instead of yesterday's. Eclipse alerts stay in your Activity feed after the eclipse ends, so you can still find what you went outside for. Several fixes to alert timing, including one that was quietly holding back notifications for some of you.
