    It’s stuffin.space, a real-time, 3D-visualized map of all objects looping around Earth, from satellites to orbital trash.

    The site updates itself daily using the latest satellite data from Space Track, a US Department of Defense website, which monitors satellites and space junk that are at least the size of a standard softball. (This excludes top-secret military satellites, of course.) In total, stuffin.space tracks 150,000 objects. Type in a satellite name to scope out its altitude, figure out its age, group satellites by type, and so on.

    Coolest thing I've come across in a good while. Being able to see the difference in orbital heights of the different groups is the best.

    Went looking for the messed up Galileo launches there but you wouldn't know by looking at it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation).


    I think thats the first site I've come across using the new .space domain aswell. Well named.
