Field notes
The interface is organized around layered globe viewing rather than a conventional dashboard: users can switch between day, night, city lights, satellite imagery, and 3D terrain, then adjust layers and settings or copy a view link. Its data notes name EIA, HIFLD, and USGS for grid information, while NASA GIBS supplies Blue Marble and VIIRS imagery. An AI question control is accompanied by a warning that answers may be wrong and figures should be checked against the cited sources.
