One thing that may be related to Starlink, or not - it happened to me already twice that I was just randomly gazing at stars and noticed long streak of satellites in a row. One around last christmas and one few weeks ago. In places cca 1500km apart in Europe.
First one the satellites were evenly spaced, sometimes 1-2 were 'missing' and I could see between gap in the clouds maybe 7-8 at the same time. Altogether maybe 30.
Second time, the spacing wasnt even but there were at least 60 of them till the show finished.
Of course real number could be much higher since I noticed them ranfomly when looking up. Their line was perfectly aligned and they were going fast (probably close to Earth).
I guess this is how satellite launches look these days, but never saw more than 1 satellite at the same time in the same trajectory on the sky, and then this. Very futuristic experience.
- lolc 4y agoYes those must have been Starlink's. I was in awe the first time I saw that string of lights. And if you wait a bit, they come around again! They are in a low orbit and very fast relative to earth because of that.
