Who makes Starlink dodge.
In the next 24 hours, Starlink satellites will pass within 5 km of another object thousands of times. SpaceX moved them out of the way 355,848 times in the past year. DODGE is the open record of who is on the other side.
Every Starlink, where it is this second.
-satellites
Each white point is a Starlink satellite, placed from the positions SpaceX publishes. Orange marks are predicted passes within 5 km of another object, appearing the moment they happen.
A day of near misses, in one minute.

- of them are under 1 km. Rings mark the sub-kilometre ones. The globe plays the whole day in sixty seconds.
The closest predicted pass of the day.

Hardware nobody can steer.
-passes
Spent rocket stages and fragments cannot move. Starlink always has to be the one that dodges.
Objects with no owner on record.
-per object
The highest rate of any group. Many are recent rideshare deployments still waiting to be identified.

Who is on the other side.
Raw totals mostly follow how much hardware sits at Starlink's altitudes. Per object shows how often each piece comes close. Click a column header to sort.
Closest predicted passes.
Select a pass to see both orbits on the globe. These are screening results from public orbit data, not collision probabilities: a predicted 100 m pass may really be several hundred metres either way.

Who tells everyone where they are.
Operators that publish their own orbit predictions let everyone screen against accurate positions instead of radar estimates. Some share privately with US Space Command, TraCSS or SpaceX instead. Only public sharing shows here.
Space is getting crowded, but the record of who crowds it should not be private. Every number here can be checked.
