How many man-made satellites are orbiting Earth?

"NASA's Liftoff to Space Exploration site and an additional Satellites page that confirms the existence of over 8,000 artificial orbiting objects."

@proadmin1 Thanks a lot for the answer! Didn't realize the orbit would be that far from the Earth. :p

@mathfreak123 That's geosynchronous orbit satellites more or less stay over a single point on the Earth.

that is awesome i think there is 58 satellites

So, at 0:35, there's a nice outer ring of satellites. What's so special about this distance? :S
