Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What Sat's can i recive in the 137mhz range? I got noaa 15,18,19 working and got some images. I know that METEOR M2 is basicly offline. are there some other sats i could try, or even in higher frequencies witch i can get without a dish setup?
Also, as u/Antenna101 mentioned, dead satellites can be fun to hunt for. Of course, you won't be receiving any useful data or images with these. And whether or not they transmit anything can be pretty hit or miss. But some of them, like Transit 5B-5, transmit some interesting signals when they do show up. Here's a list of several dead satellites, if you're interested.

If you do want to give amateur radio satellites and/or cubesats a shot, there's a whole bunch of these that transmit a bunch of different stuff. Most of them transmit telemetry, or amateur radio stuff, but I know there have been a few that have transmitted SSTV images or even pictures from onboard cameras. Satnogs is a great resource for these spacecraft, since they have an excellent database and a forum full of info. I've always used gr-satellites, which is part of the GNU Radio ecosystem, to receive these satellites. Fair warning, though, these satellites can be a bit tricky to work with. For one, GNU Radio isn't always the most beginner-friendly software to get set up. And some of these satellites, especially the cubesats, just don't have the strongest of signals.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Deadsat and gr-satellites you can also consider the following projects:

yamcs - A framework for mission control
hottest-panchayats-kerala - Figuring out what the hottest villages in Kerala are with the help of Microsoft's Planetary Computer
gnuradio - GNU Radio – the Free and Open Software Radio Ecosystem
gqrx - Software defined radio receiver powered by GNU Radio and Qt.
ACC_Data_2 - A tool for recording telemetry from Assetto Corsa Competitzione (on PC) for post-session analysis
