Here’s another thing. In spite of the repeated explanation, some people still think when they are seeing a Starlink train that it is supernatural. Every time one flies over people go crazy on social media.
hey, don’t laugh, the first time I saw a star link train. I thought it was a bunch of government drones flying around. That is when they just started and no one had really said anything about them. They are an odd thing to look at.
I saw my first Starlink train about a month ago totally by accident. I was out at night with my 50 power motion corrected binoculars, looking at the comet, and I saw satellite go by right in front of my field of view.
Given that my field of view on this binocular is fairly narrow, that was a little surprising, but pretty cool. However, a second later, I saw another one, then another one all going in the same direction.
I immediately assumed it had to be Starlink, as I’ve never seen that many satellites in a row going in the same direction at the same time, but still… I did think that was a pretty cool thing to see.
