GOES 19 live — the Earth image it is taking right now
GOES 19 is a meteorological satellite feeding the world's weather forecasts, launched in 2024 and tracked in orbit ever since (NORAD 60133). Cosmik shows its live position in real-time 3D, computed in your browser from current orbital data — free, no login.
It sits in geostationary orbit roughly 35,796 km above the equator, completing one orbit per day so it hovers over the same spot on Earth. That's why it never appears to move across the sky — and why it's far too faint for the naked eye. In Cosmik's 3D view you can see it parked on the geostationary ring alongside its neighbors.

GOES 19 is geostationary: it stays over the same longitude while the Earth turns beneath it, so its dot on the live map never moves. The picture is what changes.

Can you see GOES 19 with the naked eye?
Not with the naked eye — geostationary satellites are ~36,000 km away. Long-exposure photos show them as fixed dots among star trails. Use Cosmik's 3D view to see where it sits on the GEO ring relative to your longitude.
Frequently asked questions
How high does GOES 19 orbit?
GOES 19 orbits between 35,792 and 35,796 km above Earth, completing an orbit every ~24 hours at an inclination of 0°. These values come from its current orbital elements and shift slightly over time.
Where is GOES 19 right now?
