There are more than 1,200 active satellites orbiting earth right now, taking pictures, relaying communications, broadcasting locations, spying on you, and even housing humans. Thanks to a database compiled by the Union of Concerned Scientists, we can show you each one, as of August 21, 2014.
The satellites are sized according to their launch mass and are colored by their country.
Impressive data collection and visualization of every man crafted object orbiting earth.
