Here's the reality today: not that long after sunset, even looking almost directly into a full moon, two of only a very handful of naked-eye visible objects are some dipshit's satellites zooming past as part of an endless train.

In light polluted .

And as @sundogplanets often warns us: we ain't seen nothing yet.

The ones in the video are still very close together and potentially ever brighter.

Apparently this is Starlink G15-27 (from september 20th)

I didn't bother checking exactly but I think these are SpaceX ones.

Bright, but their biggest annoyance is that there's and endless train of the things moving along the static background of the night-sky.

Already there's never a moment where you cannot see them by just casually looking up to the stars.

An object as bright as Venus (for my non-expert eye) moving through the sky. Much brighter than any plane.
