Radar is eWire's live situational board. Readings come directly from official public sources: severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service, earthquake activity from the USGS, national airspace status from the FAA, launch schedules from The Space Devs, space weather from NOAA, new rules and notices from the Federal Register, reading trends from Wikimedia, and Netflix's published weekly charts. The board refreshes automatically, and every figure shows the time it was retrieved. When a source does not answer, its panel is held rather than shown stale. More about how eWire works.
