HESPERIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Space X recently sent additional Starlink satellites into orbit, leaving many Southern California residents wondering what they were seeing in the sky Wednesday night.
Reported sixty satellites were launched on Tuesday. They often look like a train of lights in the sky, as the satellites travel close together for the first few days after launch. The satellites were visible both nights from Space X.
The satellites caused the same kind of excited in different cities and times. If you missed the light show, you may get another chance. The satellites could be visible once again Thursday morning at around 4:49am., according to findstarlink.com. That’s in the Inland Empire area however, so are sure to be different in the high deserts, low deserts, and the mountains.
Space X’s 10th Starlink mission this year. The goal for Space X is for 1,600 total satellites to orbit, creating a worldwide high-speed internet service, including to underserved parts of the planet. Astronomers have raised concerns about the satellites, since they may affect stargazing in the future.
