🛠️ Every satellite that passed over any place this week, and its photos
Summary
This project finds every satellite that passed over any searched location in the last seven days and pulls real images from those passes. It uses SGP4 on the CelesTrak catalog to run entirely in the browser and renders approximately seventeen thousand orbital objects on the GPU.
Why it’s interesting
It calculates satellite passes with zero misses and renders thousands of orbiting objects in real time on the GPU.
