I watched the Future Boy Conan, which is a Japanese animation series directed by Hayao Miyazaki and aired in 1978, in childhood. I was very excited by the solar power satellite and its tracking system in the episode 23. Even though I can not watch so many stars in the sky due to bad eyes, I am very happy when ISS, iridium flares, and more appear in the almost same position as calculated by the Satellite Tracker 3D created by me as a hobby.
