Beautiful but not in the slightest bit usable, unfortunately. I think blurring the other side of the globe or obfuscating it in some other way would be helpful - as it stands now whenever you zoom in on an area you see through the globe to the other side and it's next to impossible to keep the mental map of where you are or what you are looking at.

If you click on the link the model shows the continents and countries also so you can see a little better but it’s still challenging on mobile. Basically it looks like the clusters of red dots are the US, and you can make out the Aleutian Islands as the northern curved cluster of red dots. Otherwise…yeah.
I can't tell if it's rotating left or right.

The side facing us is moving left. You can see dots going behind others. Easiest to see with the massive white dot near the top which I believe is Japan.
I’m not sure the data was exactly beautiful on This one lol
