For
Readers exploring live infrastructure and earth data
Worth noticing
The grid view refreshes every 15 minutes, while its source data arrives about an hour late.

Field notes

The grid view is tied to PSE data, with a stated 15-minute refresh cadence and roughly one-hour source delay. Its principles page says each scene should expose its source and methodology, and organize around one main variable—usually time. A second listed project covers the prior week's M2.5+ earthquakes and cites USGS, EMSC, and Smithsonian GVP.
