Space X’s 60 Starlink satellites spotted orbiting the Earth

Elon Musk makes his mark on the night sky: Amateur astronomer Marco Langbroek has captured on video the 60 Starlink internet satellites launched by SpaceX earlier this week (watch, runtime: 00:39). The “train” of satellites can currently be seen (with the right equipment, and a little patience) moving around the Earth 2-3 times each night but they will eventually spread out, with each satellite moving into its own destination orbit. SpaceX intends to launch almost 12k units into orbit in the next few years in a bid to provide affordable internet access around the world.
