Field notes
The desktop app plots reported events on a globe and lets users inspect markers, filter by category or source, and choose a time window from one hour to seven days. Playback compresses a week into 30 seconds, with controls to slow it down or scrub to a moment. The page identifies USGS earthquake reports as checked every minute and NASA EONET events every ten minutes.
