What's up with those satelites?!?!

Well this thread is a testimony to my ignorance and if I had the habit of reporting sightings it would probably have been 5 reports.

No worries. First we are ignorant, then we are knowledgeable. It rarely happens the other way around.

Never be afraid to deny your own ignorance aswell as others.

You are among friends.

Haha

Saw the same thing Thursday night, it did seem to go on for about 15 min.

Wasn't always a perfect line, sometimes They were side by side or one way out of line. Didn't see them again either night after.

a reply to: ATruGod

Didn't see them again either night after.

That's because the Earth rotates.
Go here and put in your location to see when you will be able to see them next.

Do you find it strange that when you search Starlink satellites you come across page after page of “ Star link bad it hurts astronomers “ . Instead of the multiple uses it will have and the trials with non-reflective coating that have worked out well .

Before you ask I don’t have a link to the coming statement I read . Because all you get is Starlink bad .


But once the production line is up and running anyone can purchase a satellite for around $250,000 plus a launch fee . They will also install any kind of electron a package you desire.( Design cost on purchaser and I haven’t seen a installation number) From weather observation, GPS, military communication and all points in between . I don’t think one would have to use their imagination to see the satellites being used for astronomy . You get a better view up there and then you do down here .

One things for sure they are getting a lot of bad publicity. But at that cost think about the companies and future technologies they will harm if successful .


It’s human nature to cling onto old thing .

I think the arguments over starlink are similar to the accusations aimed at Henry Ford by people who liked horses .

a reply to: Fallingdown

Because all you get is Starlink bad .

Incorrect.

a reply to: Phage

incorrect

That was meant figuratively not literally. But you already knew that .

My reply wasn’t my opinion of your personal thoughts .


So in order to advance this conversation .

Lets try this .

Name two positive aspects if the starlink plan is successful .

That’s not a rhetorical question.

It’s designed to measure your Insight and determined bias.

1) Global internet access.
2) Cool looking stuff in the evening sky.

a reply to: Phage

Wrong!

It’s super cool looking things in the sky !! Lol

I already counted 15 satellites in a perfect line, perfectly spaced.

Anybody know what that is?

Peace

Starlink... they are cool!

You'll see the links "Train 2 3 and 4" those will display a map of where those sets are. The latest set isn't on the site yet.

362/60 = 6 (+2)

What's up with the 2?

There were a few that failed..

Did they made calculations about how or IF the frequencys those satellites transmit could effect the climate/ atmosphere ?

According to filings with the FCC, the LEO satellites will broadcast in the Ku (12- to 18-gigahertz) and Ka (26.5- to 40-GHz) spectral bands, which are typical bands for communications satellites. The VLEO satellites, however, will make use of the V band, a higher frequency band ranging from 40 to 75 GHz.

We also need to subtract atmospheric losses (primarily caused by oxygen resonance at 60 GHz, and water vapor resonance at 22.3 GHz)

NASA Technical Note

I am not saying it will effect, but i know that new techology in generally has allready been started to use without any safety test...so it`s like the new norm....just push out all new technologys, commercialize, monetize ...and worry later..


Just dont tell about this to Greta Thunberg

It's global wifi coverage! (It's very dangerous.)

a reply to: IredBafi

It's very dangerous.

Why?

Like any satellite, they are only visible for an hour or so before sunrise and after sunset.

That's a lie. I've even seen the moon during the afternoon.

a reply to: RAY1990

The moon and satellites are totally different. Satellites are only visible for a short period.

a reply to: Zaphod58

But but but!

The moon IS a satellite.

I saw these last night just outside of Kansas City. It looked like a bunch of planes perfectly spaced...but they did not blink. Very interesting to watch.
