Hey, check this out if you have Google Earth installed. It's a real-time view of all man-made satellites in the earth's orbit:

http://adn.agi.com/SatelliteDatabase/SatelliteDatabase.kmz

There are over 13000 satellites that are tracked, but you have no idea what that number looks like. When you open that file, Google Earth will start and in a few seconds all the satellites will come into view. Don't zoom out yet, just spin the earth a little bit. Now slowly zoom out all the way, and spin the earth some more.

Holy shit! ohmy.gif

I don't have Google Earth currently installed, so anyone care to share some screenshots and/or a video clip? Let me know then and thanks in advance.

A screenshot would not have the same effect, and a video may not have a clear enough resolution. Google Earth isn't that much trouble to install. rolleyes.gif
