The night sky is wonderful. If we are fortunate enough to live in a place where there is not much pollution, neither light nor atmosphere, the nights can become a show of planets and satellites.
The latter is what allows us to take a look at the very useful website See a Satellite Tonight created by James Darbinian, Google's graphics and computing engineer.
To use the website, you only need to access it and allow it to use our location in a browser. In a few seconds, after locating ourselves on the globe, it will show us information about the satellites that we will be able to see in the coming days.
The site presents this information in a very complete way. First, in the center of the screen, we can see an image of the globe through our location and the path of the satellite or satellites that we can see. In the photo accompanying this article, for example, a Madrid user was told that tonight he would be able to observe the passage of sixty satellites from Elon Musk's Starlink project.
This information is accompanied by warnings about, for example, weather that might make it difficult for us to see it. Likewise, the site also shows us a recreation of the vision that we will have based on the direction we are looking at, the ability to navigate through it and view it in full screen mode, as well as satellite programming programming.
