CMDR Yojimbosan 🅅⁂@wonderofscience The most amazing part was not seeing any of the swarms of satellites crossing the skies all the time ...
Bionick@yojimbo @wonderofscience Why would there be? It's not like starlink doesn't cover that part of the world. You probably just can't see them all the time at that scale
@bionick @wonderofscience I run a permanent night-sky camera, and it produces a similar scale nightly video, amongst other things (see https://globalmeteornetwork.org). Trails of satellites are regularly visible around sunset/sunrise - although luckily they don't interfere with the science mission of these cameras.
@yojimbo @wonderofscience That makes sense, I guess. In the deapth of night, there's no light for the satellites to reflect off of at these altitudes
Clot@wonderofscience so cool
Exostence@wonderofscience Spectacular. I would never want to leave.

Arthur van der Harg@wonderofscience I love how these timelapses always give me a kind of “Wheeee!!!” feeling, like I’m on a playground carousel.

Jane Chisner@wonderofscience It's like we are really floating in space but somehow still on earth. Truly impressive video, thanks for sharing. 🌌
