Real Time Satellite Tracking

Space Shuttle Discovery, with seven astronauts on board, just flew past over me a minute ago. I didn't see it, because I don't have a telescope. Even if I bought one, I wouldn't know how to use it. Now, even if I learned that, I probably wouldn't remember to do get out and check the skies on the only day when the sky is clear here in Ireland - because it would be February 30th! But some informed brains have put together this site which does a nifty job with a familiar google worldmap and shows exactly where the satellites are!

You are into satellites for the free German sex-toys channel, or because you hope to peep into some alien chicks bedroom, anyways, they have some of the night sky misteries solved for you. The site automatically figures out your location (using IP2Location db - check their FAQ) too!
