Looking at These Events From Orbit
Each event on the Watchfloor carries a marker for whether it could be seen from orbit. The Map has Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2 optical imagery for looking at the same place. See the Sentinel-1 SAR viewer and the Sentinel-2 viewer, or read how the Watchfloor works.
