> All the UIs we have for sky-watching now have moved away from that

Check out [SkyMap](https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid)!

Even better, it's open source now! https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid

well, also there's security and maintenance issues from too many projects like that... like just keeping shit the same with every new browser... I do think when they do close something, they should still let it calve off into open source land... Such as skymap which is cool: https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid

Sky Map? https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid

FYI, That 2012 article links to the old code.google.com repo that redirects to the post's link https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid.

Download the APK from them directly https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid/releases

Sky Map (version 1.10.0 - RC3): Sky Map to explore the skies

Try Sky Map app. It's fun to go on a walk when the sky is clear and identify constellations and planets.

It was originally made by Google, then open sourced in 2012.

> Just a few weeks ago I got interested in this as well ("where does FR24 get its data from?"). I ended up buying a cheap RTL-SDR dongle (R820T2) and a small outdoor antenna. I run the free dump1090 tool (I'm on Fedora) to decode ADS-B messages, then my own simple "radar-like" visualization program ([1]) connects to dump1090's network socket to receive decoded data (SBS1 textual format). Even with the antenna just sitting in my room (on a photo tripod), I typically receive data from 10-20 aircraft, up to 190 km away. I drove to a hilltop this weekend (some 600 m higher) and immediately got >100 aircraft, up to 500 km.

I see your use of rust, and I have to mention I have a Rust ADS-B decoder and TUI radar application myself: github.com/rsadsb/adsb_deku/
