Satellites equally spaced going overhead?

[Deleted member 68110]

Tinfoil hat time!

Can anyone else see a line of (presumably) satellites passding over head?

My sister just called and I thought it was a hoax, but went outside and can see them too.

It’s the aliens spreading Covid.

Will likely be the SpaceX satellite constellation I guess, but some of the more enthusiastic space people will tell you for sure.

Edit: That ^^^

Ignore.

Looks like it's Starlink.

Pretty eerie stuff - a row of seemingly endless lights passing overhead, peferctlt spaced.

Excuse me that was my conspiracy from the conspiracy thread.

HELP

If I'm looking at Google Maps at 22.58pm I need to look West 261 deg, I'm failing miserably at where West 261 degrees will be.

So if 180 is South and West is 270 does it mean I just look to the left a bit?

 

[Nasher]

As long as they are at least 2 meters apart they are safe.

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Yeah it's not the first deployment of them
They did some a while back
They gradually separate

Stick your nose outside, you can't miss them. Just look for a whole train of moving stars.

More space junk.

The comments on that are brilliant.

So how often should we expect to see these things flying over now and how will I know when to wish upon a shooting star rather than musks satellite thingys

It was a recent launch, they take a bit of time to be spaced out.

I keep missing them damn it.

Went to high ground here to see them but didn't in the end. 10 degrees doesn't seem that high which was above a local town unfortunately so a bit of light pollution.
