A friend in the LAS (astronomy club) made me aware of a neat site that shows the location of many of Earth's artificial satellites in real time.
When you first open the site it shows a 2D graphic, but you can check the 3D box on the right (or press "J" on your keyboard), and it shows a stereo cross-eye view of the location. You can zoom in so as to make it easy to read the names of the satellites.
I took the above view and made it into an anaglyph. I captured this view about 1:30 a.m. (6:30 UT) so it shows western Europe still in darkness but daylight has reached most areas east of the Mediterranean Sea.

Note: the site is slow to render new graphics, be patient.
