Super cool 3-D NASA satellite tracker. Click on any satellite to see its name and orbit. Low Earth orbit and the geosynchronous orbit are pretty easy to spot, but some of the crazy science instruments are off in completely nutty elliptical orbits. The Hubble Space Telescope is just barely outside the atmosphere. The GPS satellites are surprisingly (to me) far out. Hours of fun.

I'm about to leave work and it's almost completely dark. This massively arbitrary time change irritates me once a year—I will probably remain super annoyed, as usual, until the arbitrary time change ends in the spring. Should have shifted an hour in the other direction instead, so the sun didn't go down until almost 7:00 again. Ugh.
