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.
Someone told me there was a line of them last night, probably from the most recent launch, but I couldn't find them.
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.
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.
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.
I honestly can't believe Starlink is allowed to do this. It's an absolute travesty, polluting the view of the sky for ALL people on Earth to an absolutely unprecedented degree, for profit of an American corporation. Absolutely despise it, wish all countries of the world came together and demanded the deployments to stop.

Your 'absolute travesty' is only temporary.

Easy to say when you're probably sitting in a rich city somewhere with a perfectly good internet connection
