I’ve pondered creating something like this a bunch of times: a way to visualize all the satellites currently in Earth orbit. Somebody beat me to it, using Google Earth and a .kml file. It’s pretty astounding just how packed low earth orbit is, and it’s cool to check out the band of geostationary satellites as well.
Check it out!
That looks like a scene from Wall-E!!!
In fact, it’s a scene that I actually worked on in Wall-E. 🙂
