You can select multiple satellites(or other orbiting bodies) to track, it resolves your IP into a geographical location and shows where you are in relation to the satellite. Then it tracks them in real time, tracing the path around the world. I knew they moved fast, but to see actually watch it cover as much ground as it does is insane. In seemingly no time at all, US193 made it's way across the Atlantic ocean.

I never realized how much shit is floating around up there. It's amazing things aren't smashing into eachother. I think this is something that will keep me occupied for quite a while.
