Real time space data scripts

I have this idea today, what about a post about space data scripts!? i "made" this script to watch the ISS webcam, but i'm thinking about scripts to get real data from NASA or ESA about stellar, satellite, etc in realtime, such as the info one gets from stellarium for example, but in bash scripts or cli, maybe some of you guys had already done some of these

get_iss_webcam

#!/bin/bash
cvlc http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/isslivestream.asx

EDIT: maybe an script to show the position of sky objects in realtime? such as the data & pictures from http://www.heavens-above.com/
