As SpaceX grows its constellation of Starlink satellites for global Internet access, more and more of these space objects can be spotted across the night sky - and a superfan has developed a portal to help everyone track these satellites.
Known as "Find Starlink," the new online portal has provided space fans with a one-stop-shop to know when can they expect the next parts of the Starlink satellite constellation over their location. This follows increasing reports of people reporting that they're finding the SpaceX satellites: often described as a series of lights moving across the evening sky. These internet-providing satellites have been reported in Ireland and the UK and different parts of the US - Arizona, California, and more. One local report from KING 5, a local news channel, recently detailed a sighting over Washington skies, even noting how it interferes with an ongoing astronomical study.
Search results also detail how long the trails last and which directions to look, as well as the elevation from the horizon of each sighting suggestion. It also has a disclaimer saying that the timings are not 100% accurate, as well as timings that might not be visible "based on recent user reports."
Another impressive feature is its Live Map, which allows users to monitor the various parts of the SpaceX Starlink constellation as they move around the world. A black and white map of the world can be zoomed in and out, with various color-coded streaks showing the trajectories of the Starlink satellites.
