Just saw the starlink sats!!! Lightning is happening atm but the clouds cleared with just a minute to spare. Looked like three sats following each other. Eventually they got really bright and I could just barely make out a lot more hidden in there and behind them. Was super duper cool.

This is our sputnik moment. In 5 years, starlink and other space web sats will blanket the sky every night at this specific time. It will be really cool and weird.
It awesome that we will eventually have what will hopefully be super amazing satellite internet, but at the same time hopefully the sats don't saturate the night sky too much and ruin the natural sky.
