Free space widgets for your site

Drop a live, self-updating space widget onto any website โ€” a visible ISS or Tiangong pass, who's in orbit right now, the next rocket launch, or how many satellites are overhead. Each one auto-detects your visitor's location and updates in real time.

One line of code each. No account, no API key, no cost. Works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, or plain HTML.

LOCATION

Pass & overhead widgets auto-detect each visitor. Pick a city to lock them to one place โ€” perfect for a local astronomy page.

PICK A WIDGET ยท CLICK COPY
  1. Choose a width at the top, then Copy the widget you want.
  2. Each snippet is an <iframe> plus a small credit link.
  3. Paste it into your page's HTML. WordPress: a Custom HTML block. Squarespace/Wix: an Embed / HTML block.
  4. It goes live instantly and maintains itself โ€” nothing to update.
โ–ธ PLEASE KEEP THE CREDIT LINK

Every snippet includes a small OrbitalNodes.ai link under the widget. That link is how these stay free โ€” please leave it in. It also helps people find the full live tracker.

Live space data, embedded in one line

Every widget here is a small, self-contained frame that shows live orbital data and keeps itself current โ€” no plugin, no API key, no account. They run on the same engine as the OrbitalNodes.ai live satellite tracker, so readers see real-time data computed fresh on each load. Pick one, copy the line, paste it in. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, Webflow or hand-written HTML, in a light or dark theme to match your site.

Three kinds of widget

Visible passes tell each visitor when a spacecraft next crosses their own sky: the next naked-eye International Space Station or Tiangong pass, the next Hubble or AST BlueBird pass, and the next visible Starlink train while a freshly-launched batch is still clustered. Each one detects the visitor's location automatically and counts down to the pass.

Satellites overhead show how many satellites from a constellation are above the visitor right now โ€” Starlink, OneWeb, Amazon Kuiper, Qianfan, Guowang, Iridium or Globalstar โ€” updating as they move across the sky.

Live & stats are the same for everyone: who is in space right now across the ISS and Tiangong, a countdown to the next rocket launch, a live count of objects tracked in orbit, and a live countdown to the next predicted satellite reentry.

Who they're for

They're built for anyone whose audience looks up: astronomy and space-news blogs, school and university classroom pages, observatories, planetariums and science museums, makerspaces and STEM clubs, and local community or tourism sites that want to tell people what's passing over their own town tonight. Lock a widget to a single city for a local page, or leave it on auto-detect so every reader sees their own sky.

QUESTIONS

Do they know my visitors' locations?

The pass and "overhead" widgets detect each visitor's approximate location automatically (city-level, from their connection) and personalise the result โ€” no login or permission pop-up. "Who's in space" and "Next launch" are the same for everyone.

Are they really free?

Completely. They run on the same live engine behind OrbitalNodes.ai. Keep the small credit link and you're welcome to use them anywhere.

Will they slow my page down?

No โ€” each loads lazily in its own frame and runs on our servers, so it won't block your page from rendering.

Can I add more than one?

Yes โ€” paste as many as you like. Each is independent.
