How to view the freight train of Starlink satellites. [View all]

As many here already know, Musk launched the first of the Starlink sats on Thursday. They will eventually be used for global internet (pending Space Force Supreme Command approval, I guess).

Anyway, the schedule is now up at n2yo. For those unfamiliar with the satellite tracking site, just click "10 day predictions" here and see when they will be visiting your neighborhood. It's best to register if you plan to check often for this or ISS tracking because it keeps your location. They don't seem to spam.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'm going to like seeing these once they're all streaking around like a hypersonic legion of lightning bugs. They're said to be very bright.
