Half a year ago, I captured a photograph of a long train of satellites. However, when I navigate to that location using this tool, I don’t see any satellite train present at that specific timestamp.

I wonder if there are other satellites not included in this dataset, or if I should search way further from the location on the map

Why are there demarcations towards the poles where the satellite density drops off? Seems Norway, Sweden and Finland have a much lower density of satellites .

I wanted to ask the same thing.

There are two clearly demarcations both north and south

I'm surprised that getting our low space to this state was even legal

US runs the show. Anything is possible.

Seeing them "slowly" move (but in reality incredibly quickly) reminds me of reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_(novel)

are their orbits and trajectories computed ahead of time to avoid collisions?

its not the most intuitive setup but theres a lot of info available.

click on a dot and it will show up on a list to top left, click on an item in that list and you get a flyout menu to the top left with a bunch of data regarding the satellite.

Yes.

If you zoom in you can see them moving. Click on them to see their tracks. I'm surprised how random the orbits seem. It's too cloudy at the moment but maybe on a clear night I can check the accuracy by looking up.

With clear, dark skies, you definitely can.

cool site! i appreciate satellite trackers and sometimes leave satellite.love up in the background in orbit mode with the music on at home.

the geosynchronous satellites fall on and bounce off earth
