Have you seen a Starlink satellite train??
Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite constellation network developed by SpaceX that uses a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet to remote locations.
A Starlink satellite has a lifespan of approximately five years and SpaceX eventually hopes to have as many as 42,000 satellites in this mega constellation. The current version of each Starlink satellite weighs approximately 573 lbs. (260 kilograms). As of November 2022, there are 3,271 Starlink satellites in orbit, of which 3,236 are operational.
Starlink satellites orbit approximately 342 miles (550 kilometers) (opens in new tab) above Earth and put on a spectacular show for observers as they move across the sky. This show is not welcomed by all and can significantly hinder both optical and radio astronomical observations.
You don't need any special equipment to see Starlink satellites as they are visible to the unaided eye. The satellites can appear as a string of pearls or a "train" of bright lights moving across the night sky.
