I watched a Starlink train go by last night.

Last night I took my dog outside around 8:40 pm. I noticed what looked like a perfectly spaced and aligned row of airplanes come from the northwest, go directly overhead, and move to the southeast. After the first 8 or so went by I realized it might actually be the Starlink satellites. I stayed outside to watch the full 60 go by, it went on for five to ten minutes. When I got back in the house, I pulled up a satellite tracker and confirmed it was the constellation from the Starlink-2 mission. What a beautiful sight! You could say I had a nerdgasm over it. I could definitely see why astronomers are concerned about them.

I think that would be a sight to see. I'll have to look up the satellite tracker and take a look.

I used SpaceX Starlink Satellites Tracker to spot the "Starlink-3" train this evening. Very cool! After spotting the first one (not necessarily the first I SHOULD have seen), I saw maybe 15 of them fly by. They were just a couple seconds in trail, which worked out to a couple handwidths with my arm outstretched. This pass was only 30 minutes after sunset, so the sky wasn't terribly dark and they were pretty dim, so a little difficult to spot.

This sighting was right up there with spotting the ISS fly overhead 15 minutes before the pre-dawn launch of STS-131 back in 2010.

I’ve been eagerly waiting to see the latest Starlink train but all the passes have been during daylight hours so far.

I'm hoping to see my first one two days from now. I'm hoping the Moon isn't bright overhead like it was tonight.

I got a nice short view from Tucson this early morning while walking my dog. That was really something to see!
