Passed along to me by Emmett, another intern here: http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/JTrack/3D/JTrack3D.html
This is the coolest website ever! It opens up a java window that shows the Earth and over 500 satellites that are currently in orbit. You can watch it in real time or speed it up to some absurd rate so that GEO satellites zip around the Earth, and you can also click on the individual satellites to bring up a window with basic information about each satellite's orbital parameters and purpose for existing. Yay for space!
P.S. You have to accept the NASA certificate for the program to load all the satellites.
