Very, very cool.

I know little about the subject matter but expected to see higher density around the equator. Unless I'm mistaken, geo-stationary satelites need to remain there(?)

They do but geostationary is at an altitude of 35,786km. That gives a circumference of 264,869km and an arc length of 736 km per degree. That is a lot of space to fit satellites.

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space." - Douglas Adams

You can see geostationary satellites if you zoom out. They are more apparent if rotate to look down from the poles. It looks like a faint ring.

There aren't that many geostationary satellites. They need to stay spaced out to avoid each other. The result is a few, large satellites instead of the large cloud of ones close to Earth.

No knowledge. But is the two posts just contradict each other ?

Anyway, very cool and click on individual dot give you the orbit. Still not sure how to find the geostationary one though.

Does anyone know if collisions between satellites are common? Seems like a ripe "space" for issues lol

They aren’t common but they do happen.

Nice little easter egg: If you zoom into the center of the Earth you’ll find the monkey puppet meme on a cube.

Does anybody know why some Starlink satellites are lined up?

not an expert, but from what I have gathered they are launched in clusters that end up in such a "train" formation, later to launch into a more spaced out constellation at a higher altitude.

Nice, however… that is not how orbiting works: https://imgur.com/a/yEWadl6
