Where is Elon’s Roadster and Starman?

It seems like only yesterday the Elon Musk’s roadster and starman was launched into space on an orbit in the Mars neighbourhood. On this day there was so much excitement not seen in a long time and of course it was again proved that the Earth is round (like d’uh!).

 

But since then a little website has started which is tracking the position of the roadster – www.whereisroadster.com gives out live data of the position of the roadster from Earth, speed and position.

Sure the site has only a little scientific interest and is quite geeky but what it does show is a simple look at how orbits and trajectories can work. It’s pretty neat. Have a look!

  1. If it’s on the built in Autopilot I rather doubt you’ll be seeing it following any regular route. Possibly it’ll come to a stop to let an asteroid cross the road ahead of it every now and then though.
