Every tracked, active satellite, propagated from its published orbital elements to this second, on a globe you can spin, plus the ones above your horizon right now. Pick any spot on Earth, or isolate one country's fleet. Then go outside, or check the same pass on Heavens-Above, N2YO, or NASA's Spot the Station.
Elements from CelesTrak, snapshot –. Propagation is SGP4, the same model every tracking site uses. Positions drift a few kilometers per day after the snapshot, which is why pass times still land within seconds for a week or more.
Drag to rotate, scroll or use the slider to zoom. To use your own spot, press the button above and tap it on the globe; the horizon list, sky chart, and ISS passes all update. Zoom out to about 7 and the geostationary ring appears 35,786 km above the equator, exactly where every satellite dish is aimed. Switch to the South Pole view: polar-orbit satellites cross Antarctica every few minutes.
Zenith at center, horizon at the edge, north up. The green arc is the geostationary belt: every TV dish in your town points at it. The largest dot is the ISS when it's up.

GOES-19 sits over 75.2°W and never moves in the sky. From each city below, here is the angle above the horizon a dish must point to see it, computed live from its elements. On a flat plane the angle would fall off slowly with distance and never reach zero. On a sphere it hits the horizon near 81° latitude. Every satellite TV installer's tables agree with the second column.

Next 3 days, passes above 10°. "Yes" means the station is in sunlight while your sky is dark, so it will look like a fast, bright, unblinking star. Compare against Spot the Station or Heavens-Above for the same dates; they will match to within seconds.
Built from public data: orbital elements by CelesTrak (T.S. Kelso), which republishes the U.S. Space Force catalog; propagation by satellite.js. Nothing here is estimated. Every number is reproducible by anyone with the same two lines of text per satellite.
