The SpaceX Tesla Roadster blasted off from Cape Canaveral Kennedy Space Center onboard the Falcon Heavy rocket on February 6th 2018.
Dedicated astronomy enthusiast Ben Pearson created WhereIsRoadster.com, which tracks Starman’s position in real-time based on the car’s calculated trajectory as it swings around the sun for millions of years to come.
The live Starman tracker visualises a simple solar system chart with the calculated trajectory of the Roadster, Earth, Mars and Venus.
Mr Pearson said: “The current data that I am using comes from JPL Horizons. I am very thankful for this wonderful resource they have provided.
“I now have a script that I run periodically to update the information files that I have, which will allow for me to track this object, to the best of human understanding, for some time to come.
“This information will eventually expire, no longer being useful.”
