Elon Musk’s Space X Seen From Maine

Did you catch the string of lights in Maine the other night?

You might have seen Starlink.

There are a ton of Starlink satellites that orbit Earth. That's how you have the internet. It's how France also has the internet.

According to Space, on a clear night, you may be able to catch a glimpse of a few satellites as they make their way across the sky. Sometimes if you see them right after they are launched, you might see what's known as a Starlink satellite train.

As you can imagine, this string of bright lights in the sky looks very strange and that has made many people call it a UFO sighting. Once the satellites climb to where they orbit at 340 miles, well...they just become another dot in the sky.

Elon Musk's private spaceflight company SpaceX has just under 4,200 satellites in orbit, according to the article in Space.

If you want to catch a Starlink train, chances are pretty good because they launch satellites multiple times a week! But they are trying to not be visible to not interfere as much with astronomical observations.

Check out the chart to see if you can catch a glimpse.
