Beautifully done, at so many levels: the pincushion view of just how much stuff is up there; the rendering of the orbit of each satellite; the ground track of its aperture; the time series of its passes. So many data sources seamlessly integrated. Even if Claude wrote every line of code, knowing what to ask for is quite a feat.
Amazing.

I don't say this lightly: This may be the best combination of style and substance I have ever seen.

I have seen a lot of sites with satellites’ overviews… I work in geospatial.
This site is really good one as you can see exact image taken by a satellite.
Well done.

Really cool, and beautiful UX.
For data sources, it would be cool to add Sentinel-1 since SAR sees through clouds, plus the Umbra and Capella open data archives for some high-res passes.

This is a fantastic website. Currently, it primarily displays satellite positions, but I think it would be even better if it could be displayed or filtered by orbit type. The current results clearly show the differences between different orbit types—the Central Park observations you provided already clearly demonstrate these differences—the Sentinel-2 satellite passes by around 10:50 local time (sun-synchronous orbit), the GOES-19 satellite continuously observes from geostationary orbit, and the International Space Station/Tiangong satellite passes by at different times each day (inclined low Earth orbit). This website would be even more educational if it could color-code or label the satellites according to orbit type (sun-synchronous orbit/geostationary orbit/inclined low Earth orbit/medium Earth orbit), or even label the local time for nodes for sun-synchronous orbit satellites.

This is not only a very cool idea, but also fantastic execution! Great work and very neat!

This is great for planning backpacking trips. I have been using Copernicus but you have a lot more and it's much easier to access. Very nice!

That looks really nice. I especially like the view showing the satellite flying overhead and the line marking the scanned area.

This is what I need: I like to see the latest developments in my area, but other web interfaces are hard to use. The only thing I wish for is the higher resolutions which I’d like to pay for with reasonable price

This is very cool, and a bit creepy too, but mostly cool
Really liked the UX, even on a small phone screen it was easy to use. I enjoyed the big typing cursor, it was a unique surprise (almost 100% of text form inputs have either a very small vertical line cursor, or nothing at all - the big cursor feels refreshing)
