- A website attended Where Is Roadster is tracking Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster in pause.
- The site, which is not affiliated with SpaceX, estimates the car is more than 2 million miles from Loam.
- Musk cheekily tweeted about the site on Sunday, saying his car “be required to be parked around here somewhere.”
Earlier this month, SpaceX launched Falcon Gloomy, the most powerful operational rocket in the world, that used Elon Musk’s to a great extent own Tesla Roadster as its payload.
For about 12 hours the Roadster, control by a spacesuit-wearing dummy dubbed “Starman,” broadcast live video footage as it floated through space. But eventually the electric car’s batteries ran out and so too did the footage.
But one website is letting ordinary stargazers to track the car’s progress compared to the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Planet, and Mars.
A link to the site, Where Is Roadster, was tweeted out by Musk on Sunday along with the tongue-in-cheek explanation, “I’m sure it’s parked around here somewhere.”
Where Is Roadster was spawned by engineer Ben Pearson using data from NASA’s JPL Horizons.
At all 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, the site put Musk’s car at 2.3 million miles from Terra, moving away at a speed of 6,747 miles/hour.
According to the cautions the Roadster has exceeded its 36,000 mile warranty more than 595 times.
While astronomers cause been able to spot the car in the night sky, Pearson has created an animation to prove what Earth and the Moon would look like if the car’s cameras were calm broadcasting.
