Satellite trains

Walked outside and looked up and saw a long string of lights traveling east , I watched it for a good 30 seconds before it was gone. It raised the question, is there a website site where you can track these , the same as you can ships and barges ?

This is a pretty cool site for tracking all that stuff

Elon Musk should've been more public with this bullshit. Me and the boy used to track the ISS, Shuttle and Hubble on the NASA website.

In his defense, he hasn't exactly been secretive about it lol. This has been public knowledge for a few years now.... There isn't a whole lot that he is secretive about lol

They are pretty cool to see. The 1st time was Memorial Day last year. The wife was freaking out, I was in bed in the camper. Once you realize they are just satellites and the reason they go out is that they have no lights and are just reflecting the sunlight, it's not so freaky.

Saw starlink train a couple winters ago and there was about 50 satellites in it.

It was cool the way the Northern lights were dancing in the background, My first time seeing one but I'd read about them and knew right away what I was watching. I looked at a couple websites and realized just how many are up there now days, plus a bunch of other space junk from years gone by.

Do modern space travel vehicles like the space shuttle have abilities to maneuver around junk ? or is the sky so big that they rely on luck ?
