Starlink surprised us tonight
So today was a rough one for Cookie. Lots of worries about things I can't change and that became a worry unto itself.
This tonight, at 8:45 the husband took the dogs out and went out onto the deck, I followed and he told me to look skyward.
And up in the dark, I saw something that kind of restored my faith in mankind.
Elon Musk's Starlink, 6, and 7 were up in the night sky. Satellites, one after another, zooming from the northwest to southeast over our house in a perfect line, each spaced a perfect amount from the next, traveling from Westminister to the Eastern Shore. The whole show took about a minute. Simply unexpected and amazing.
Now the video is something from the UK. And it certainly doesn't even hint at the beauty of these see on a clear night with your own eyes.
Yes, I know that someone people will say its space junk, but it reminded me that the world is far bigger than I. I needed that.
Check below to see when you might see it!

The man himself is an evil, arrogant, self-serving troll - but his satellites do put on a rather good show, don't they? We first saw them at the beginning of this lock-down and were mystified until I read about them in the papers, and they were over here again last week. The skies were totally cloudless, so we could see them very clearly. Jx
ReplyDeleteI think he is brilliant, tyrannical, mad, and a visionary. I also find him very odd looking. It's almost like he's from another world...
DeleteHe also called the expert who rescued those kids from drowning in a cave a "paedo" just because he refused the spoilt child's idea of using a submarine. Then got away with it in court by calling this comment a "joke". Despicable. Jx
DeleteI saw them early one morning as I was leaving for work - they're creepy.
ReplyDeleteHowever, that they inspire people to look up into the night sky is a good thing - so many wondrous and "unexpected and amazing" (as you said) things to see!
