We'll soon find out, whether we like it or not. And that's fucked up. Nobody's doing anything about it. I like progress, but 50,000 man-made objects in space, for better internet service and communications when people don't even talk in the first place, is just fucking stupid.

nicely done. it showed just how difficulty it is to see satellites at all unaided to the eye, unless they are moving. Though I believe this would have been so much better to listen to had it been narrated by R C Bray from Audiobooks, his character Mr Skippy from Craig Alanson's book.
In order to make such relatively tiny things visible, they appear much larger than they actually are. Space is a very big place, even LEO, which is a very limited area of space. It isn't as crowded as this makes it look. However, orbital crowding is indeed going to be a problem in the near future. There will need to be more and more "orbital traffic control" in the future, not just to make sure that new satellites get into very specific orbits that won't "crowd" its neighbors at that same altitude, but to calculate launch windows for rockets that are releasing more than one satellite, and those which are only lingering in LEO just long enough to boost their payload into a higher orbit (usually a very high one like GEO). Not to mention orbital debris mitigation strategies and tactics, tools and best-practices. So it's not as bad as this makes it look, right now ...but it will be in the future if we aren't careful.
It's starting to look like the satellite swarm/garbage you see in the movie....Wall-E. Not bad yet but We are not to far removed from a cascading impact failure.
This is the second one for me, I liked "A 360-Degree Tour of California Extreme with Steve Lin! " a lot because I like both Drew Scanlon and the topic a lot. Being able to control the camera etc made me feel like I was there in person by his side as he went through.

@@lewasil Haha! I know, I freaked out the first time I saw one of the VR videos. I don’t have any VR goggles and I’m sure it looks way better like that, but still interesting to move the phone around.

@@namansingla2975 "Show, don't tell" is a saying that means something similar to another adage: "A picture is worth a thousand words". Showing a thing clearly using visual aids can save hours of explanation.
In the late 1980's I was working for the Omani Air Force stationed at Seeb International Airport. The tropic of Cancer runs directly above Seeb, of course during daylight or for that matter nighttime with all the airport lights you could not see the sky, never mind the satellites. But sometimes in the evening we would go to a beach nearby where the airport lights or city light never got in the way. There if you just lay on the beach and just focused on the sky it was not long before you seen the satellites pass over, 100's of them. Actually that was for all of us a real magic beach. In the evening apart from the satellites we had the company of sand crabs, again 100's of them. Then if we were very lucky sometimes we would also have a chain unbroken in both direction of luminous plankton as it became visible, sometimes extremely visible as it came ashore. Truly a magical place to experience.
just imagine multiple linearly organized crisscrossing bands of visible dots. like without this enhancement system even. probably see 3 to 4 full strands of them on a clear night if you're not in a city
@@josephneider7332 You'll still need the enhancement system. Without sunlight to illuminate them, they'll be utterly invisible most of the night. Only near dusk or dawn will they be illuminated while the surface is still in darkness.
This was an amazing video! I took my 7 year old son camping a few weeks ago in the Mountains near Mt Whitney. He got to see his first satellites. He was so excited. We saw three with out naked eyes. It’s amazing how many are actually up there.
This is awesome. What a huge amount of items in the sky.. Thanks for this and for those of you who see it grainy please up the resolution with the Gear at the bottom of the screen SO much better in 4k :) Thanks Scott this was awesome.
I may be biased as a life long space nerd, but this is by far the best 360 video I’ve ever seen. It resonates with the same personal and mystifying experience of watching the stars while displaying some really nuanced structure in an interesting way. You gave a spacecraft engineer a fresh perspective. Thank you for making this, you should be proud of it.
I dont really think so. Its probably a Thing U can find somewhere on the Internet. Just Upload it as a VR Video and the Video is done. But dont get me wrong, that was an amazing video
@@milchael the data is available on internet (google 'satellite tracker') but you, as a programmer have to map all this data programmatically onto a geoid, and then map the tendency of movement (coordinates change over time) and then you render your animated geoid as a 360 'sphere' - so yeah, not manually of course, but much more complicated than your sugestion ;)
I always wondered about this. THANK YOU FOR SHARING, this is one of the coolest displays I've ever seen. This should be a 360° museum exhibit. Smithsonian, give this guy a grant and make it happen
Its really amazing how many more there are now. I remember looking for satellites as a kid in the late 80s early 90s and I remember it being kind of rare to see one. Now, I go out and everywhere I look are satellites.
Absolutely awesome. Could this be put into an app for your phone perhaps? All of the graphics I have seen to date are from the outside in; this is a whole new perspective from the inside out. I will never look up and see the night sky in quite the same way again. Nice job!
One of your most amazing piece of work Scott. Really stunning. I am sharing it to a contact working on space debris issue at CNES. Greetings from France !
When I clicked on it, I had a feeling it was clickbait. But it wasn't, and it was genuinely interesting too. So really, good job. I can't imagine the effort it must've taken to do all of this.
When I used to have decent eyesight and camped out in the mountains it was amazing how many satellites you could see just after sunset. Just about anywhere you looked something would come into view. And I know exactly where this landscape is from.
I knew there were a lot of them in orbit but this perspective makes it completely mesmerizing and understandable. I would LOVE to see this form be applied to a historical timescale, ie what the night-time sky looked like years ago vs today. For instance, what's the impact of Starlink been?

I was trying to adjust my phone in the right position on my table when I noticed the screen moving up and down and I thought, "Whoa!, he's having a tough time keeping the camera still!" Then I realized it's me! DOH!!! 😳
Great work, Scott. After looking at the space debris, and given the potential for harming working satellites, I suppose once near-Earth travel costs become more reasonable, an enterprising sort could start a space debris recovery/collection business, and do quite well! Recovered precious/semi-precious metals & materials, electronics, components, perhaps data recovery, and "general waste removal" fees!
@@jeffmartin3406 It costs $5,000 to get a banana to The Space Station, so capturing a dead satellite would always cost more than it's gold or platinum scrap value.
Great simulation Scott. Recently I had my first view of a Starlink train in the predawn sky. Currently there are only about 3200 deployed Starlink satellites. As the entire project gets deployed, will we see a continuous web of satellites in the dusk and dawn skies? Any way you could replicate this video with the Starlink trains (as they currently are or as they may be in the coming years)?
I used to have a job where I had to leaves for work about 5:00 to 5:30 in the morning. I remember always seeing a satellite moving from southwest to the northeast every morning just before the sun can up. Right at that times the sun would just be reflecting off that satellite just so you could clearly see it. Not sure what type of satellite it was. I assumed because it was going south to north it was a GPS, but not sure. I guess it could have been a weather satellite.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but could have been an earth imaging satellite in sun synchronous orbit. A sun-synchronous satellite would be trying to get uniform lighting on the earth. A constellation of these would likely be what you would see on the way to work.
It was probably Tiangong, the Chinese space station. It runs in that orbit and is visible with the naked eye. Is fast enough you will see it multiple times a night too.
Probably just the space station, it tends to pass over everywhere at a specific time in the day (though that slowly shifts throughout the day). It's one of the easiest objects to see in the night sky because it's about as bright as the planet Venus and is the 4th brightest object in the sky. Check to see when the next ISS pass is for you and catch it to see if it's similar, there's usually one every day though sometimes they can be in the daytime. I personally use heavens above to check this
Someone needs to have this up as a live feed all the time, with realtime data...... Or/also better yet, a augmented reality app! Ugh.....I knew I should have put more time into learning to code for android..... Quick, someone get on that idea, youll be a hundredair by the new year!
Fantastic! And now I know why I'm confused sometimes trying to identify stars and seeing things that don't make sense to me. This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
okay so that was amazing. nice work! One of the things that always strikes me about space crowding is that we tend to visualize space items as large...which we would need to do otherwise as is the case...you wouldn't be able to see them. Yes there is a lot of stuff up there, but there is a lot more stuff down here and there still seems to be plenty of room, and given the the virtual sphere of space is even larger than that of earth and you can have multiple planes of elevation is seems like there is indeed...plenty of space. That being said, tracking and precision are key to avoid problems with this space as the speeds are so much crazier than anything here on earth.
Part of the problem with the debris is it can affect very expensive equipment. And it's not easy to send up stuff that is protected against the debris due to how fast some of it can travel.
Funny how many people are commenting in how crowded it looks - my reaction was the opposite, that for all the many objects up there, it's still so very empty...
@@joshuawilliams4695 and also that they're really far smaller than the dots of light suggest... to appear that big, I'm guessing a geosync satellite would have to be kilometres in scale, rather than a few metres tops

@@shinrapresident7010 ?
Is it actually over crowded? Videos like these can make things appear worse than they are.

Overcrowding of GEO is more significant, as there's a very small amount of spots for GEO sats.
"Fly safe" has never sounded so ominous...

You raised the bar, Scott. I didn’t realize RUclips supported a canvas view.
Wow Scott, you've really outdone yourself with this video. This is amazing! Thank you for all the content you make, thank you for really taking the time to get people involved and interested in science and astronomy. You really are putting in your grain of sand sir.
I was sitting here looking at the mountain like why isn't he moving the camera??
:) Satcom engineer here with 40+ years of experience. We have some great tools for visualizing satellite orbits and thanks to Scott for giving regular folks a peek into our world.
I was trying to adjust my phone in the right position on my table when I noticed the screen moving up and down and I thought, "Whoa!, he's having a tough time keeping the camera still!" Then I realized it's me! DOH!!! 😳
Absolutely amazing
This is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen. Thank you!
First time I saw the ISS I was in awe ..
Absolutely awesome! Why did it take two years for RUclips to recommend this?
Great work, Scott.
After looking at the space debris, and given the potential for harming working satellites, I suppose once near-Earth travel costs become more reasonable, an enterprising sort could start a space debris recovery/collection business, and do quite well! Recovered precious/semi-precious metals & materials, electronics, components, perhaps data recovery, and "general waste removal" fees!
Imagine THAT commute to work!
It would be like, trying to catch bullets, possible but.......
@@jeffmartin3406 It costs $5,000 to get a banana to The Space Station, so capturing a dead satellite would always cost more than it's gold or platinum scrap value.
@@jeffmartin3406 Not if you're going at the same speed as the bullet
Great simulation Scott. Recently I had my first view of a Starlink train in the predawn sky. Currently there are only about 3200 deployed Starlink satellites. As the entire project gets deployed, will we see a continuous web of satellites in the dusk and dawn skies? Any way you could replicate this video with the Starlink trains (as they currently are or as they may be in the coming years)?
When you see a skytrain, the launch is recent. In the coming days and weeks they become increasingly dim and spread out, we wont see them
I've no idea how I found this video but so glad I did. This was fascinating and humbling! Thank you, Scott!
I used to have a job where I had to leaves for work about 5:00 to 5:30 in the morning. I remember always seeing a satellite moving from southwest to the northeast every morning just before the sun can up. Right at that times the sun would just be reflecting off that satellite just so you could clearly see it. Not sure what type of satellite it was. I assumed because it was going south to north it was a GPS, but not sure. I guess it could have been a weather satellite.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but could have been an earth imaging satellite in sun synchronous orbit. A sun-synchronous satellite would be trying to get uniform lighting on the earth. A constellation of these would likely be what you would see on the way to work.
It was probably Tiangong, the Chinese space station. It runs in that orbit and is visible with the naked eye. Is fast enough you will see it multiple times a night too.
odds are it was iridium, they tend to flash
Probably just the space station, it tends to pass over everywhere at a specific time in the day (though that slowly shifts throughout the day). It's one of the easiest objects to see in the night sky because it's about as bright as the planet Venus and is the 4th brightest object in the sky. Check to see when the next ISS pass is for you and catch it to see if it's similar, there's usually one every day though sometimes they can be in the daytime. I personally use heavens above to check this
Someone needs to have this up as a live feed all the time, with realtime data...... Or/also better yet, a augmented reality app! Ugh.....I knew I should have put more time into learning to code for android..... Quick, someone get on that idea, youll be a hundredair by the new year!
i wanna be a hundredaire too
Fantastic! And now I know why I'm confused sometimes trying to identify stars and seeing things that don't make sense to me. This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
This is how many videos like this we need
👇
Great Scott! Thank you Scott.
Why is this only now in my recommended list? This is stunning, best video november '22. 💯
‘My God, it used to be full of stars!’
Is it possible to clean it up by removing all stars/natural lighting? Then be able to see just the space junk, and then just the sats?
Did you just ask if it's possible to extinguish all the stars in the sky?
@@mismis3153 That's not at all what he asked.
@@mismis3153
no, simply...replace it
This was recommended to me by chance and I’m so glad this is absolutely fantastic and educational
I sense a disturbance, as if all flat earthers cried out at once and then... silence.
Fantastic video
laserfloyd look again
laserfloyd didn’t he say geo-stationary
Would love to see this with all of Starlink's new satellites!
Wow… I always watch satélites, but never realized about the geostationary ones. This is one of the best videos I have seen.
Wow, this was a cool video. It's interesting to visualize how many satellites are over our heads
okay so that was amazing. nice work! One of the things that always strikes me about space crowding is that we tend to visualize space items as large...which we would need to do otherwise as is the case...you wouldn't be able to see them. Yes there is a lot of stuff up there, but there is a lot more stuff down here and there still seems to be plenty of room, and given the the virtual sphere of space is even larger than that of earth and you can have multiple planes of elevation is seems like there is indeed...plenty of space. That being said, tracking and precision are key to avoid problems with this space as the speeds are so much crazier than anything here on earth.
Part of the problem with the debris is it can affect very expensive equipment.
And it's not easy to send up stuff that is protected against the debris due to how fast some of it can travel.
@@Madhattersinjeans yes, there is plenty of space, but some of the space neighbors are jerks.
This is the first YT video I've see with intergrated panning. Very cool. And very cool and informative video.
Funny how many people are commenting in how crowded it looks - my reaction was the opposite, that for all the many objects up there, it's still so very empty...
It's all about that sense of scale, innit. =D
Add color coding to indicate elevation?
Simon Geard ya it is actually far from crowded when you consider the vertical space (they are orbiting at various altitudes)
@@joshuawilliams4695 and also that they're really far smaller than the dots of light suggest... to appear that big, I'm guessing a geosync satellite would have to be kilometres in scale, rather than a few metres tops
Good job on this! ❤
Amazing video Scott!
