I'm all about Elon Musk doing his thing but Starlink...
... is gonna get on my ****ing nerves. While I realize these are not the first low orbit satellites it seems that these are extremely bright and form a chain which are extremely eye catching and, IMO, take away from the night's sky.
I took this photo about 2 hours ago. ![]() |

https://www.slashgear.com/spacex-has...tion-28618591/ Consider all the current satellites as beta. They still aren't doing laser communications between satellites. I expect this is an issue they'll be working on through 2021. |

Aren't they supposed to separate after a bit and not be so obnoxious ?

I only see 2 in your photo. The 1st set of 60 (?) were all in a line but they were supposed to spread out.
As a side note, has anyone tried them out? I'm on satellite here and my current provider is slow and expensive. |

I think you are looking at the bottom right or perhaps the far left? Look in the dead center... 8 dots.

Asian companies are working on low earth orbit displays, like advertising and "meteor showers" for special occasions. Great.

But...c'mon. Selling "short shorts" for $69.420 as a way of rubbing it in the face of his detractors is kind of hilarious.
I suppose that his sleep-deprived antics where he has directly attacked people on Twitter can be seen as a sign of immaturity. I'd just call it dumbassery, but I could be convinced otherwise. Last edited by DaFace; 12-04-2020 at 03:32 PM.. |
