    "why": "Watching satellites or aircraft move normally means installing specialist software and wiring up a data source yourself. gods-eye-view moves that into a single browser screen, laying live open data over a photorealistic 3D globe. You install it with Pinokio or run it locally from the terminal and it opens in your own browser; it is built on Cesium. No license is declared in the repository, so check that before reusing the code.",
