Where is DSCOVR right now?

Orbital Radar tracks DSCOVR in real time from NASA JPL Horizons ephemeris data, showing its live distance from Earth and the Sun, current speed and one-way signal delay, updated every 60 seconds. NOAA's Deep Space Climate Observatory at Sun–Earth L1 — the primary early-warning sentinel for solar storms heading toward Earth, and home of the EPIC camera's daily full-disc images of the sunlit face of Earth.

How far is DSCOVR from Earth?

DSCOVR's distance from Earth changes constantly as both bodies move through the solar system. The live figure — in kilometres and astronomical units (AU), with the matching light-travel (signal) time — is shown at the top of this page and refreshes automatically.

Earth's Space-Weather Sentinel

The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), operated by NOAA, sits at Sun–Earth L1 about 1.5 million km sunward of Earth — the ideal vantage point to catch solar storms roughly 15 to 60 minutes before they reach us. Its solar-wind instruments provide the primary early warning that lets operators protect satellites, aviation and power grids from geomagnetic storms.

The EPIC View of Earth

DSCOVR also carries EPIC, a camera that takes daily full-disc images of the entire sunlit face of Earth from a million miles away — a modern successor to the famous "Blue Marble". Launched in 2015 after a long development history, it remains a workhorse of operational space-weather monitoring.
