Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet. Starlink is operated by American aerospace company SpaceX.
Leveraging advanced satellites and user hardware coupled with experience in both spacecraft and on-orbit operations, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and more.
SpaceX started launching Starlink satellites in 2019. As of February 2023, Starlink consists of over 3,580 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit.With Starlink, users all over the world can engage in activities that historically have not been possible.
UFOdB.com is making this video available to let people understand what they are, so not to mistaken them for UFOs considering they are visible to the unaided eye. The satellites can appear as a string of orbs or a "train" of bright lights moving across the night sky.
Starlink is ideally suited for areas of the globe where connectivity has typically been a challenge.
Unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure, Starlink can deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable or completely unavailable.
The amplitude of the Starlink project concerns astronomers, who fear that the orbiting satellites will interfere with observations of space.
