But that's not true. I've watched the Starlink satellites go by at night with my own eyes. No telescope, just standing in my backyard, there's even websites which tell you the time and direction to look.
- zaroth 6y agoThere’s a limited time (like a couple weeks) while they are boosting into their designated orbit where this is possible. And significantly less so for the latest generation with the new sunshade. For the vast majority of the satellites in the constellation they are in fact not visible to the naked eye.
- mlindner 6y agoHow long ago was that? I've not seen anyone saying they've seen them in several months. This is not a fixed situation and SpaceX has mitigated most issues with them. https://www.spacex.com/updates/starlink-update-04-28-2020/ https://www.spacex.com/updates/starlink-update-04-28-2020/
