Planet View
Shows a beautiful satellite image from Planet on every new tab, with location indicator and history navigation.


Description
Planet View transforms your Chrome new tab page into a window to Earth, displaying a fresh satellite image from Planet Labs each time you open a tab. The image is drawn from Planet's extensive gallery of high-resolution satellite captures, offering a diverse look at our planet's landscapes, cities, and natural features. A clickable title in the lower-left corner provides a link to learn more about the specific image, including its location and context.
Features
- Dynamic Satellite Imagery: Every new tab loads a different satellite photo from Planet's collection, ensuring a unique experience each time. This is ideal for users who appreciate geography, remote sensing, or simply enjoy beautiful aerial views.
- Location Indicator: A small globe icon in the lower-right corner marks the geographical location of the current image. This helps you quickly understand where on Earth the scene was captured, useful for educational purposes or satisfying curiosity.
- Random Image Refresh: Clicking the globe icon instantly fetches a new random satellite image. This feature is handy when you want to skip the current view and explore another part of the world without waiting for a new tab.
- Navigation History: Use the left and right arrow keys (← and →) to move backward and forward through your viewing history. This allows you to revisit previously seen images, making it easy to compare different locations or show a specific image to someone.
Planet View is designed for anyone who finds inspiration or wonder in satellite imagery. Whether you are a geography enthusiast, a teacher looking for visual aids, or just someone who wants a more interesting new tab page, this extension provides a seamless way to explore Earth from above directly in your browser.
