I found this on another audio site. It shows all the stuff in space, and it is a lot. You can click on each item, zoom in, zoom out, rotate Earth, and whatever. It is pretty cool if you like this type of thing.

    In all seriousness, that's pretty cool.
    The geosynchronous satellites at 23,000 (22,236 -- per Google) miles are pretty easy to spot, eh?

    What I'm looking at? I just see a bunch of dots around some weird circle thingy.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Are those all satellites? I didn't realize there are that many of them out there.

    Voyager 1 left our solar system in 2013, it has Chuck Berry's music on it. A copy of Chuck Berry is right now four years out of our solar system... crazy. Edit: At speeds of up to 38,610 miles per hour it took it 13,140 days of nonstop traveling to leave the solar system. Space is mind bending if you think about it too much. It's so easy to lose focus of where we really are.

    A lot of the shtuff in low orbit is the debris from the Iridium Satellite Crash*.



    *No, i don't actually retain this stuff but had to look it up after perusing the satellite info. That would make me seem far to intelligent and god knows i don't need to mislead you.
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    It's probably not noticeably crowded despite this {really cool} app making it seem so. Asteroid belts/fields in reality have asteroids spaced really far apart that navigating through one isn't difficult despite what the movies depict.

    This is a good point. Consider a snapshot of aircraft in flight over the US at pretty much any time of day (or night). Each plane in the image below -- is -- a plane. Yeah, they're not that big :blush: -- but there are that many.

    Notice the line of planes flying along the Mexican border not venturing into Mexican air space.

    no most are used rocket boosters and space debis from what I clicked on. It is a wonder any satellites are able to be kept in space. Now that I say this I'm sure one will knock out my Dish TV satellites...
