This is a little hobby project that I hope you enjoy. You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe.

The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available.

Lookoutwindow.com shows snippets about Points of Interest below, and each has a Wikipedia link that you can read more about. You can save them as favourites also, to read once you land. Currently, covers all routes from Ireland, due to the cost of API access for flight data. Works offline once the route is selected. If you have an RTL-SDR receiver, in time, it will track your live location from the plane's transponder (since GPS can be unavailable inside a plane). Been…
