Here is a cool link I stumbled on recently that shows you what satellites & other objects coming across your location that you can see with naked eye. Interactive and gives details as to when to observe, what is flying across, etc....time and where to view. Opening page focuses on the Starling satellites, but also the option to see things such as ISS, Hubble, misc other satellites. For those who don't know(like me until last week)...
Starlink is a satellite constellation being constructed by SpaceX to provide satellite Internet access. The constellation will consist of thousands of mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit, working in combination with ground transceivers.
What's cool about these is that they consist of a bunch of satellites all sort of 'chasing each other'....example is this Monday at 4:57 local time for me(CDT), 60 of them will pass overhead like a continuous train of satellites, one right behind the other. 60! Last week when I first learned of this, I watched 42 come across and two nights later watched another stream of 28. I thought 42 was amazing--can't wait to see 60 of them in a parade. And btw, they aren't slow moving--these things are scooting across. Really interesting to watch. Click on this link--it will find your specific location and then give you all the details along with a simulation of what you'll see. Hope someone enjoys this.
