Eh Putin been talking about hi Posideon torpedo

As long as they take out the stupid Starlink space debris and Make the Night Sky Beautiful Again I'll be happy. Those little sats would be great for target practice.

You sound like you need to move somewhere better. I have amazing night viewing, and Starlink to write this lote, lol

I have almost no light pollution. There are horrible moving specs everywhere. Not "amazing".

Starlink satellites are not visible to the naked eye once in orbit. Perhaps a visit to the eye doctor is in order.

That is factually inorrect. I must have darker skies / better eyes than you. To be fair most of the space dusts I'm seeing aren't SL but plenty of them are.

Dude, they are like 6' wide, and 350 miles away. You aren't seeing Starlink sats with your naked eyes.

You need to do more stargazing. Don't know what to tell you other than that there are apps to ID sats, I've been watching the skies for 20 years, and it's not just me. Can't exactly prove this to you but really dude go somewhere dark. Signing off this unproductive discussion🤝

Also they are SUPER visible at launch, so...neither of those two factors are part of the equation.

Yep, sure are. For like 30 mins. No idea what that has do do with the conversation about dark skies.

I stargaze from rural AZ at least 3x per week in summer and 1x in fall/winter. But sure. Wow man, just admit you can't see them holy crap. It's not that big of a deal. .
