Watched.earth - Track satellites and photos over any location
Show HN: Every satellite that passed over any place this week, and its photos
Watched.earth lets you enter any place on Earth and instantly see every satellite that passed over it in the last 7 days, along with the actual photos they captured. Built by @armaangupt0, this tool transforms raw orbital data into an accessible, visual experience—perfect for researchers, journalists, or anyone curious about what's watching from above. With over 4,900 places checked and 4,810 in the last 24 hours, it's a powerful way to explore satellite surveillance and imagery without specialized knowledge. Just type a location and discover the unseen observers overhead.

People who prompt an LLM to generate without proper capitalization in order to deceive more people into thinking the text is genuine deserve a special place in hell. Always with the inauthentic feedback CTA, too. This should be killed off HN for flagrantly violating the rules against LLM-generated text, and yet everyone upvotes it.

I don't say this lightly: This may be the best combination of style and substance I have ever seen.

Trying to type in the location field is almost impossible. There is something way off in the way the block cursor reacts to character spacing compared to the text in that field.
