5720 - The satellite's are EVERYWHERE!

Where are all the Starlink satellites? Click on the link to see an interactive map. Lots of stuff to look at.



Both the space stations are on here too. They look like a green person.

Oh my. I had no idea there were so many.

I worry about traffic and trash out there. I really do

Mike said...

Sue - And that's just one company. Google wants to put 3000+ more out there.

Cloudia - Especially the trash.

They are part of the amazing network of high-tech communications satellites that enable the spread of utter bullshit around the world at the speed of light.

Yes on a clear night camping we see many many satellites go by. It is like one every few minutes.

We're surrounded -- SURROUNDED!

Mike said...

Bill - And soon the whole world can get in on the fun!

Lady - I'm not so lucky in suburban St. Louis. I can't even see meteor showers. Too many city lights. Speaking of city lights, do you remember when the power went out in the LA area and all the stars became visible? People were calling the police asking what was going on in the sky.

Deb - Keep an eye on this map. If you see satellites clustering over your house... RUN!

Lady M said...

Ha - no I don't remember that. But I am fortunate to live near some great dark sky areas and we camp a lot!

The universe is incredible, hard to imagine how incredible.

Mike said...

Susan - We may not be able to see the universe if they put up too many more satellites.

If all were joined by a thread or two they could hod the world together like a crocheted bowling ball cover.
What were the squares that glowed yellow then red?
I was a bit disappointed that earth didn't slowly spin so we could see Australia.

Mike said...

River - You can spin it with your mouse. And the red squares (I think) are ground stations.
