I agree. We have filled up the oceans with plastic, filled up the air with fine carbon particles, NOx, and God only know what else, and now we are creating an outer sphere of rubbish in space. We already have obsolete telecommunications satellites circling the earth, spy satellites, TV satellites, and and incredible amount of large and small bits of rubbish, and now this! Who the heck permitted this or is there no control what so ever. Perhaps it is a bit like the old days of pirate radio stations. Wait until Captain Carrot starts to mine the moon! https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-moon-mining-2645687877.html

Just watched a chain of them go over my house, however one of them seems significantly off in its tracking to the others it is off to one side and sticks out a fir old distance, I wonder where it's going? Must be a rebel

I missed them last night. Grrrr.
I agree that there seems to be a traffic jam building up. Isn’t there someone looking to clean up unwanted satellites?
Expensive but the kit up there is high tech.

Last night was a bit cloudy with only some areas of clear sky. Will try tonight again.
Itching to get a photo to match the ISS one I got a couple of weeks ago.

Went out for the 9.30 performance last night ....to find the sky still light and the only 'star ' bright enough to even see was venus ...... fine for a walk but far too light for stargazing .....just goes to show how the year is rolling round even if we are in a timeless limbo of quarantine .
Another couple of months and it won't be dark here all night .

Ah, it was Venus I was looking at. Lots of other stars around, but after 15 mins still hadn't spotted the chain, so went back to the TV programme I was part way through.

There is an early morning pass and as it is W to E any sunrise will be away from it. I am not that desperate.

Caught the tail end of them here, bonus though I caught a couple of meteors!
