Welcome to Heavens-Above
If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've
come to the right place! Our aim is to provide you with all the information you
need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and
the Space Shuttle,
spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites
as well as a wealth of other spaceflight and astronomical information.
We not only provide the times of visibility, but also
detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens.
All our pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and
customized for your location and time zone.
Before we can generate the predictions for you, we need to know where you are, and
there are several ways you can do this, depending on whether you are a registered user, want
to become one, or prefer to use the site anonymously. For a discussion of
