So we finally got a chance to see a proper Starlink “string of pearls” in the real sense of the word (only 5 days after the 5th Starlink launch) while they are still very close together. I happen to see them again two nights after this recording, and was astounded by how much they’ve spread out since, again realising how lucky we were.
