How it works
Fresh orbital elements from CelesTrak for about 170 Earth-observation satellites, propagated with SGP4 for the past 7 days to find each one that crossed your spot.
Sentinel-2 (10 m) and Landsat 8/9 (30 m) scenes from the public Planetary Computer catalogue, plus daily MODIS views from NASA GIBS, each with date, satellite and cloud over your spot.
UTC time, where the Sun is overhead, how high it stands at your place, and how many tracked satellites are above your horizon this second.
Free, live and nothing stored. Your location stays in your browser; share a place with a plain link that reopens the same view.
