My site has this but only for satellites. https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/ For OP I'd suggest doing calendar events for notifications rather than Web Push. Web Push is very difficult to set up, users are suspicious of it, and it doesn't guarantee timely delivery on Android devices. Calendar events work well on mobile. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
I bet it is used in a lot of ways people don't notice. In my site[1] I use wasm to run an ancient piece of code called SGP4, but it's totally invisible to the user. Someone actually ported SGP4 to JavaScript but it's slower and doesn't perfectly match the original, so it's great to have the option to run the real C version (actually the original is Fortran but the C port is the standard these days).

I live 10 miles from Boston and I've seen them a whole bunch. I've used https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/?special=starlink. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/ Put in your location and it will tell you when and where to look at the sky to see one. Works great for me and hopefully it will work for you. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Starlink Go to this site. It will tell you all the satelites in your area and what time they will pass over you. It will also tell you how many starlink satts will be in the 'train' . Most I have seen was 54 travelling east west and 52 travelling north south. And passed in the middle. That would have totally freaked out a few people. Https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/.

I think Celestia could be a good one. I also thought about SpaceEngine, but AFAIK it was kind of terrible at generating realistic planetary systems, among other things (pricey, huge, etc.). Source: about 1 year ago
Celestia was something I played with before. Pretty interesting. Source: over 1 year ago
Celestia looks as though it would do it. Source: over 1 year ago
I'm looking for data and software to visualize the Apollo 17 trajectory (especially the "powered descent", lunar rendezvous and entry). I'm thinking of using celestia. I'm look for a data tables as well (time stamp, position for each part of the stack). Any tips are appreciated. Source: over 1 year ago
Yes, that's Celestia most likely. I'm not sure it is still maintained though. Source: over 1 year ago
