I was curious to know if one could see the Starlink satellites on a bright night a couple of days after a full moon and inside the city limits. The answer is most definitely yes. The first one began to appear 40 degrees above the NW horizon and they just kept coming, one after another for 10 minutes, making a chain marching completely across the sky. While it was a stunning sight, is it also a sign of the night sky horror to come?
If you look carefully you can see 35 of the Starlink satellites and 2 meteors, maybe lucky Geminids?
