Where Is Artemis?
The other day I googled "Where is Artemis" expecting to find a tracker showing me the position, but instead getting results from news articles without live data. I eventually found the NASA tracker (https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/) and https://artemislivetracker.com/, but neither is optimized for mobile and frankly I found them both underwhelming. The domain (whereisartemis.com) was available and I thought "someone should use that", bought the domain and got started. Hopefully, this is something that can be extended for future…
Where Is Artemis? launched on April 5, 2026 with 8 votes, #1,409 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
Track Artemis II live — real-time position, speed, and distance from Earth for the Orion spacecraft right now. NASA/JPL data updated every 30 seconds.
The Artemis II crew arrives at Kennedy Space Center and answers questions from credentialed media. NASA holds a prelaunch news conference on countdown status with launch team representatives and weather officers. Loading of liquid hydrogen into the SLS core stage begins with a slow fill to chill down the tank and feed lines. SLS lifts off from LC-39B at Kennedy Space Center. Nearly 40 MN of thrust pushes the crew toward orbit at ~8 km/s. Artemis II is NASA's first crewed mission beyond low-Earth orbit in over 50 years. This tracker shows the live location of the Orion spacecraft — also known as the Artemis 2 live tracker — using real-time data from NASA/JPL. The live tracker above shows the…from whereisartemis.com

Made a little Artemis II tracker for anyone else who is unnecessarily invested in this mission: https://artemis-ii-tracker.com/ For those of us who apparently need a dedicated place to monitor this mission instead of behaving like well-adjusted people.
Artemis, a Calm Web Reader2024 · artemis.jamesg.blog · ▲312Earlier this year, I made a web reader that only showed a list of post titles, author domains, and links. The reader only updated once per day, so I wouldn't feel compelled to keep checking for new posts. I have been using the tool, which I called Artemis, for several months. Every morning, I looked forward to my "morning paper" of blogs I love reading. There are no notifications, read vs. unread states, counts of posts, etc. Only the last seven days of posts are available. The colour scheme is changeable. Dark mode is supported. All popular feed formats are supported. There is no reading…
Artemis.fyi - Real-time tracker for the Artemis II Moon missionApr 2026 · artemis.fyi · ▲11There are plenty of Artemis II trackers out there. I looked at a bunch and kept running into the same issues - some had data that didn't look right, it was hard to use on smaller screen, others felt overly complicated for what I actually wanted to know: what's the crew doing, where is Orion, how fast is it going. The best one I found was issinfo.net/artemis, which inspired a lot of the design. So I built my own. The part that was genuinely interesting to me was the data. Turns out anyone can query JPL's Horizons API for full ephemeris data on the Orion spacecraft - position, velocity,…
Beautiful 3D ISS tracker with live video and near-realtime clouds2024 · iss.matteason.co.uk · ▲139This 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 positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. 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. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…

I built a real-time OSINT dashboard pulling 15 live global feedsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲312Sup HN, So I got tired of bouncing between Flightradar, MarineTraffic, and Twitter every time something kicked off globally, so I wrote a dashboard to aggregate it all locally. It’s called Shadowbroker. I’ll admit I leaned way too hard into the "movie hacker" aesthetic for the UI, but the actual pipeline underneath is real. It pulls commercial/military ADS-B, the AIS WebSocket stream (about 25,000+ ships), N2YO satellite telemetry, and GDELT conflict data into a single MapLibre instance. Getting this to run without melting my browser was the hardest part. I'm running this on a laptop…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
