I just watched a few videos of Starlink...what's interesting is that a couple of the "satellites" go off and on. The brightness of the train is at peak directly over the camera...then fades some. They are self illuminating. Footage from the ISS shows, in a daytime sky above clouds, small black dots. Wouldn't they be pretty bright if it was day and the sun was hitting them? They are not reflecting sunlight...something else is going on.

Deployment of thousands of low earth orbiting (LEO) Satellites by the following: SpaceX=12,000 OneWeb=4,560 Boeing=2,956 & Spire Global= 972 satellites.

You sure those are satellites? They look too low.

Exactly. They are also slightly shifting in relation to one another which would be impossible at that speed if they were that high. Can't make up those distances.

It amazes me we have thousands of satellites in orbit and apparently this is the first time people are seeing them. How are these Starlink satellites suppose to provide internet service when they are whizzing by so quickly?

starlink satellites are in very low orbit to help keep latency down unlike prior options.

being that low it is just a matter of time until earths gravity draws them in. wonder when that will be and will they fall in populated areas? Can people sue if hit by them? Are they insured for personal injury and property damage?

Latency won't really be an issue if you only have access to the satelite for several minutes. At least Google's balloons are in a relatively stationary position.

You can download an app called "Find Starlink" to determine when the satellites will be visible in your area.

If you see the Starlink satellites - NASA would like to know about it - with photos.
