The story behind Log On Globe

I've always loved two things: space and building things for the web.

One day, my 9-year-old daughter asked why it was already 10pm in Paris while it was still only 4pm in New York.

I opened my laptop, convinced I'd find a website showing the Earth in real time, with daylight, night, the Sun and the Moon.

I never found the one I was imagining.

So I started building it.

At first, I only wanted a beautiful Earth.

Then came the atmosphere.

The clouds.

The Sun.

The Moon.

The ISS.

Eclipses.

Seasons.

Time zones.

Little by little, it stopped being a globe and became a living model of our planet.

Every new feature sparked ten more ideas.

Eventually, one simple question kept coming back:

What can we log on Globe?

It turns out the answer is: almost everything.

The name Log On Globe had actually been waiting for this project for more than twenty years. Back then, it was meant for a travel journal where people could log their journeys on a map. The project never happened, but I never let go of the name.

Looking back, I think it finally found its true purpose.

Because Log On Globe isn't just about looking at our planet.

It's about understanding it.

Connecting with it.

Exploring it.

One event at a time.

Welcome aboard.
