Starlink satellites expected to have average visibility this weekend over North Texas.
While stars may not be visible in the North Texas night sky, there is still plenty to look for after the sun sets. A parade of lights that can be seen crossing the sky belongs to hundreds of small satellites that bring internet access to the world.May of 2021 some local residents believed they saw UFOs flying through the Texas skies.
The satellites belong to SpaceX’s Starlink constellation consisting of 4,519 Starlink satellites, 15 more of which were launched into orbit as of Monday. They are launched about 340 miles up into a low earth orbit and when the light hits just right, they form a train of lights moving across the night sky.
Starlink satellites are sometimes visible in the first few minutes after sundown and before sunrise when the sun is below the horizon, but the satellites are high enough to reflect direct sunlight.
