# Stowaway — Ride along with anything in the sky Source: [https://stowaway.live/](https://stowaway.live/) Pick any aircraft or satellite passing over your house right now, and go sit in its window seat\. ![Sunset from a passenger window at cruise altitude: Mount Rainier snow-covered on the left, cumulus scattered over the Cascades below, and a labelled airliner drawing a contrail overhead.](https://stowaway.live/og-image.jpg) The sky here is the real one outside — your location, your weather, this minute's light — with the aircraft and satellites that are genuinely overhead\. Click one and the camera follows it; stow away and it takes a seat on board, over real terrain\. All of that is drawn in real time, which needs JavaScript and WebGL 2\. Switching JavaScript on for this site should do it\.
