Controls:
  • Hover over satellites to see name and orbital details
  • Satellites orbit Earth in real-time — inner ring = LEO (faster), outer ring = GEO (slower)

Reading this chart: A narrow shaded band means stable temperature each day. Wide bands indicate large swings (expected — LEO satellites cycle between sunlight and shadow ~16×/day). Drag the slider below to zoom into any period.
Thermal Pattern Matrix — Hour × Day
X-axis = 97 days · Y-axis = 24 hours (0–23h) · Color = average temperature per hour
What to look for: Horizontal bands = consistent daily thermal cycles (orbit heating/cooling). Vertical columns of color = specific days that were globally warmer or cooler than usual. Dark blue = cold (below 5°C) · Green = normal · Orange/Red = warm/hot.
