Field notes
Controls shown on the page let visitors choose a location and UTC time, inspect object altitude and azimuth, and move between sky, weather, and planetary views. The observer panel permits coordinates and height above a planet's mean-radius sphere; the site says this is not a satellite-flight simulation. Its source list names JPL, NASA, Astronomy Engine, HYG, and weather providers, while the page labels planetary scale and time as illustrative.
