Space station location

Hi all, this link may already have been posted before so apologies in advance if it has.Its a cool,real time way of locating the ISS & other satellites....go to.....

http://science.nasa.gov/temp/StationLoc.html

Then click on J-TRACK 3D....Wait a moment then a window will open & a security warning will confront you.It's a safe virus free link. I've accessed it around 200 times & its been no probs.Click YES & shortly thereafter you will see a blue globe with lots of dots that represent satellites & the ISS.You'll see them moving in real time.
Go to OPTIONS, change UPDATE RATE to a quarter of a second & you're in business.
Use your CONTROL & SHIFT key along with a mouse click to enlarge or shrink the globe.
Let me know how you go....
