Hardware in your sky
As of today, there are thousands of objects we have put into orbit
around the Earth. Only about a thousand of these are functional satellites.
. On any given night, there are dozens of artificial satellites whizzing
overhead that approach naked eye visibility. Some are as bright as the
International Space Station. Some are barely visible even in dark skies.
One website that is most helpful in planning your satellite viewing is
Heavens Above. You can customize the site for your own observing
location. I have this link set for my home at Cranbrook.
