SKY VIEW
Real-time positions of the ISS and Starlink satellites plotted against the dome of sky above your exact location. The circle represents your horizon. Center is directly overhead. Share your location and find out what that moving light actually is.
Share your location to see what satellites are above you right now. The sky view updates every two seconds.
The outer ring is your horizon — 0 degrees elevation. The center point is directly overhead — 90 degrees. A satellite near the edge is low on your horizon. One near the center is almost directly above you and will be brightest and easiest to spot.
Satellites are visible to the naked eye when sunlit against a dark sky — typically in the hour after sunset or before sunrise. The ISS is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon. Starlink trains appear as a string of moving dots shortly after launch, before they disperse.
North is at the top of the sky view, matching a compass. A satellite labeled NE at the 45-degree ring is northeast of you at roughly 45 degrees above the horizon — about halfway between the horizon and overhead.
Satellites below your horizon are not shown. They are on the other side of Earth from your location. As Earth rotates and the satellite orbits, they will rise above your horizon within minutes to hours depending on the orbital inclination and your latitude.
