1. A computer-implemented method for determining and displaying an orbit of an orbital object using observations of the orbital object, the method comprising:
by an electronic hardware processor configured to execute instructions stored in a non-transitory memory connected to the electronic hardware processor:
receiving, via an orbital object data interface from a network of telescopes, a plurality of sets of identifiers, wherein each set of identifiers corresponds to an orbital object;
receiving, via a selection interface, a selection of a plurality of timepoints corresponding to the orbital object, wherein the selection of the plurality of timepoints comprises sets of identifiers within a display time period;
determining an orbital path of the orbital object associated with the selected plurality of timepoints, wherein the orbital path is determined over an orbital time period that (i) overlaps the display time period, (ii) precedes the display time period, (iii) succeeds the display time period, or (iv) any combination thereof, the display time period spanning from a lower-time limit to an upper-time limit;
generating data configured to display a position-time graph comprising:
a position axis spanning from a lower-position limit to an upper-position limit,
a time axis spanning from the lower-time limit to the upper-time limit, and
an indication of the orbital path spanning at least a portion of the display time period; and
transmitting for display on the selection interface the position-time graph including the indication of the orbital path.
