It was created by Arnold Barmettler a researcher at the University of Zurich and formerly a scientific assistant at the European Space Agency.[1] The website, available in English and German, features a calendar (and/or email notifications) generated for your location including information on aurora, comets, tides, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, bright satellite passes (ISS, HST, etc.), occultations, transits, satellite flares, and decaying satellites that may be visible.[2][3][4]
