At least they could have done was put them up into a square formation and have them flash Eat at Joes.

Living in a suburban area with lots of so-called “light pollution” we can only really make out 1st and 2nd magnitude stars with the naked eye. Would be nice to have something interesting to look at.
Serious astronomy will have to be moved to the lunar surface... They knew this decades before SpaceX was conceived. I think this article is just another cheap shot against Elon Musk.

For some reason the ET aliens rarely fly in straight lines...they must think it is racist or something...

Notice they almost bumped into that star. Lol! I noticed that too. I think it's a registration mark or some such thing on the camera.

He’s the expert. Neither you or I can say the same. When I asked their value that’s what he told me

We know what happened to the last people who went to the end of the Santa Monica Pier to wait for the mothership . . .

Good thing the one in front didn’t slam on it’s breaks due a giant Chinese rocket motor. There would have been a pile up in orbit. Hard to get wreaking services 200 miles away from home.

She should have asked him quietly to come over and talk to her rather than yelling out it’s a Cookbook!
Women are so emotional.
Also great to know that the Livestock get their own individual Rooms, get to smoke Cigarettes and are fed Sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap on their Interstellar Journey to the Slaughterhouse.

Astronomers are smart enough to plan for these things and work around them. Astro-photographers don’t seem to be able to do that.Racist.

Saw exactly that last night and the only thing I could think that it might be was SpaceX Starlink satellites. I am glad to see my guess was confirmed.

Sorry, for some reason I can’t properly format a link from my phone. The text is the correct URL, however.

From Yo-Yo:
Times and directions you can see Starlink satellites from your location: https://findstarlink.com/ Thanks again for the link. Wish I had checked it earlier. I would have fixed it before reposting in my reply.
