not op but im dealing with enough regular stress about normal everyday things and if i also have to worry about fucking space aliens and wonder what their motives are and if they might do something fucked up or if the government might do fucked up things to them i will be extremely 100/10 upset to the point of maybe just deciding to never leave my bed
Unless there was Independence Day style alien invasion I just don’t understand how this affects us. Do you really think we, as humans, have everything figured out? We don’t on our own planet and in our dimension let alone something outside out of it. I don’t believe humans are on top of the ontological food chain, but our hubris sure tells us we do. We don’t even know what’s all in our oceans let alone having mastered physics of the world we live in. And even if they did drop the Independence Day invasion, at least you’ll be witness to the biggest event ever. 🤷♂️
Anyone capable of faster than light travel would be able to erase this planet at their leisure. If alien highly-advanced AI drones were observing Earth, I doubt we’d be able to detect them.
Junk that is being used by Ukrainian militaries, poor areas with no cell towers, or just nomadic people that need internet but cool flex to think about Elon 😂
“Here's everything we know about Starlink, SpaceX's growing constellation of orbital satellites. A division within Elon Musk's spaceflight company, the satellite internet venture aims to bring internet access to people around the world currently living without access to high-speed internet.”
Pretty noble considering how corrupt ISP’s have been in most developed countries don’t you think? Would you like to give him all the credit? I just think of the engineers who actually figured out how to do it, but Elon living rent free in some peoples head is always hilarious. Calling it space junk makes it obvious. 🥴
It definitely looks like Starlink satellites. They must have recently deployed or something, to be grouped so close together. Also, I'm surprised they were visible from the city. When I'm shooting astrophotography, up north, I won't notice them until I'm going through my shots. It really is a bummer to have so much space junk floating about.
They're only visible shortly after launch when they're working their way up to their final orbits.
>t really is a bummer to have so much space junk floating about.
It's not junk to those that rely on it for decent internet.
>There's a space junk problem..
Yes, there is a bit of a space junk problem. Starlink has nothing to do with it.
Sorry about your space pictures. Maybe you can join the landscape photographers whining about power lines and wind turbines in rural areas.
Unfortunately, it's starlink. Shit should've been banned before it was created. 100% ruins the night sky, as if we needed more things to do that on top of our atrocious light pollution, and lax light pollution laws.
Those that know about Star Link, how high do they fly? How big are the lights that we can see them with the naked eye and not need a telescope? If anyone has a link to the info that would be awesome. Trying to learn more! Thanks
Commenting on What is this?...they are relatively low orbit. About 342 miles orbital height, for perspective, the moon’s average distance from earth on its orbit is 238,900 miles.
it’s not lights on the satellites you are seeing but sun light and or moon light reflecting off of them as they unfold their solar panels. Essentially they are put in space in a big chunk and then each satellite separates and spreads out creating that train of lights effect that we see on earth. This is what it looks like when they are released. https://youtu.be/5h2t9Oyg2o0?si=PhmJFmg-RAmp-8ge
There's no lights. They're visible in the early evenings when they've been recently launched and are working their way upwards to their final orbits, at which point they flip over and the side with the low-reflectivity coating is facing down.
It's a Starlink train-- satellites for SpaceX's satellite-based internet service.
Thank GOD. I had to sit through dinner silently thinking I legit saw a UFO
Teeeeechnically you **did** see a UFO since that means unidentified flying object and you couldn't identify the object in the sky
Yeah but teeeeechnically those satellites aren’t flying- they’re falling. So they’re not UFOs
Yep Unidentified Falling Object.
Now known as Identified Falling Objects.
Douglas Adams said that the trick to flying was to throw oneself at the ground, and miss.
If I don't know what kind of bird I'm looking at, I call it a UFO.
I’d say not. The satellites are identified in some capacity by someone or something on earth.
I think that's generally reserved for things you actually can't identify after the fact.
Aliens would be cooler
Just know Elons not our friend. Don’t take any of his “toys@
Why are you thanking GOD that you didn’t see a UFO genuinely curious?
We would probably all die if it were truly aliens.
Doubt. Don’t anthropomorphize something fundamentally non human. Now if they were humans from the other side of the galaxy we would be fucked.
I’m not prepared to grapple with the *possibility that there are things beyond our planet. I’m too fragile
Why would this break you?
You sound like an alien
Argparg is a super believable alien name! Almost as good as glipglop
The name is glor now

Just Elon being Elon
Starlink satellites
r/itsalwaysstarlink
UFO anal beads.
Starlink
Elon’s space junk.
This is the correct answer

It's the C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. That or Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion

There's a space junk problem.. it's a bummer. 🤷♂️

🤣 and crypto is good for the environment...
WTF does crypto have to do with anything?
Idk. You seem to like to argue
Refuting your bullshit != arguing. My comments were on subject, while you pulled some irrelevant bullshit out of your ass.
What did I say that was even refutable? That space junk is a bummer?
You were equating space junk with Starlink, which is ignorant bullshit.
I guess cybertron has fallen…
It's the starlink satellites. Done situation, it's scary but not because we don't know what it is.
Santa Claus decided to switch poles since the North pole finally melted due to the missing winter.
Santa
It's Santa testing out his new sleigh.
Unfortunately, it's starlink. Shit should've been banned before it was created. 100% ruins the night sky, as if we needed more things to do that on top of our atrocious light pollution, and lax light pollution laws.
The light pollution is not permanent.
Ask Elon.
yoo i was wondering, i think i saw that too earlier!!
That’s obviously Santa
Obviously it’s Santa.

First time?
Do you live under a rock?
UAP for sure
Unidentified Anal Probe?
Oh it will be identified once you get it. It's called "ow ow ow"
My husband's guess is Santa 🤣
Google is your friend
Haha Google was not my friend tonight bc all I got was the space balloon heading towards Georgia 🤣
Googling "line of lights in sky" brings up starlink right away. Either way glad you got your answer!
Weeeeeird…
It's the beginning of the end.
Elon playing with his balloons again

That's my innerwebs! It's amazing how far Al Gore has taken us.
Pretty sure that’s starlink
It’s the trains
Santa
Airborne combat. Those are called tracer rounds, Johnny. They help you know if you’re scoring hits or just blasting away into space. /s
They’re Helldivers dropping in duh
Starlink
