Frequently Asked Questions
Are these databases really free?▼
Yes. Every link on this page goes to a government agency, a non-profit research organization, or an established free public database. NASA, ESA, NOAA, the FCC and the Minor Planet Center publish their data as a public service. A handful of services (Slooh telescope time, etc.) charge for premium access but their basic data is free.
How do I know if an asteroid is going to hit Earth?▼
Check NASA's Sentry impact-risk table. Every known near-Earth object that has any non-zero impact probability over the next 100 years is listed there with its odds. The vast majority of objects are quickly removed once additional observations refine their orbit.
How do I report a UFO/UAP sighting?▼
Civilians: NUFORC's hotline (24/7) or web form. Current/former military or government employees: AARO's official secure reporting form. AARO accepts reports going back decades. The FAA also takes near-aircraft sighting reports.
Can I watch the ISS from my house?▼
Yes — sign up at NASA's Spot The Station for free email/text alerts. The ISS is the third-brightest object in the night sky after the Sun and Moon and is visible to the naked eye for several minutes per pass.
Where do I find live launch streams?▼
NASA TV for NASA missions, SpaceX live for SpaceX missions, ESA Web TV for European launches. Next Spaceflight aggregates streams for every upcoming mission worldwide.
