This is my favorite Starlink tracker - also has a nice integration with Google Street View and shows you exactly where to look. https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/?special=starlink

EDIT: Removed "past times" parameter as suggested in comments. Also note you can remove also see loads of other satellites with an unadorned URL : https://james.darpinian.com/satellites

We are polluting our night skies and dark places.

Go outside this evening if the sky is clear. If you're anywhere between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, there are multiple starlink satellites in your line of sight all the time.

Can you point them out? No, they're invisible at their operational altitude.

We also have a coverage map for Starlink: https://orbitalindex.com/feature/starlink-coverage/

Wow those are few and far between. Isn't the idea of starlink that you'd have internet all the time?

Edit: Aahhh I see now, it's meant for stargazers (well, starlinkgazers) and it only shows the visible passes. Got it. I'm used to using sat trackers for ham radio purposes and they show all passes, that's why I was confused.

Some friends said they saw it go over my town last night but I missed it. I’m stoked there’s a tool to track it.

It also shows a single "pass event" for a launch of 60 satellites, the pass alone takes minutes as a long visible chain of sats goes overhead. Really damn cool to see.
