What people are seeing right now.
ERN's visitor-contribution layer is designed to be temporary and place-based, not a permanent review feed or social network.
First: short-lived Earth Signals
ERN is preparing structured observations such as raining, beautiful light, busy, peaceful, something happening and worth seeing. When public contribution opens, signals are designed to expire after about 45 minutes and precise contributor coordinates will not be shown publicly.
Then: temporary still photos
The prepared first Now Moment media phase is still photos only. Video and short clips remain disabled and are not part of the first activation. Photo upload will not open until ERN has real moderation, abuse reporting, consent, metadata stripping, automatic expiry/deletion, rate limits and verified deployment. Visitor media never upgrades a camera to LIVE or proves that a source is current.
This page follows ERN deployment evidence. It stays local until verified infrastructure and explicit activation are complete.
Preview an Earth Signal
Try the lightweight visitor-expression idea locally. Nothing is uploaded or transmitted.
This is only a browser-local preview. A real public signal would require ERN transport, moderation, rate limits, reporting and expiry infrastructure.
Recent visitor signals
Short-lived visitor observations are not independent verification. They may help you notice what people nearby are reporting right now.
Why this belongs in ERN
Cameras show one fixed window. Temporary visitor moments can eventually reveal what is happening nearby or just outside the frame, while still keeping ERN focused on “See before you go.”
