Not sure if that was them or not. Yes, that was them. I just watched about 30 fly over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Malone - Editor Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Only just saw this thread and noticed it's going over again tonight so going to try and catch it. Not seen it in years actually. From where I am near Chester it will be going over at 10:55pm (Duration 6 min | Max height 45° | Appear 10° above W | Disappear 16° above SE). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There is a falcon 9 rocket launch today that passes over UK a few minutes later at 21:55 On Thursday 25th June 2020 we are in for a treat. We can watch a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch a new batch of 60 Starlink satellites live from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Around 15 minutes later, the very same rocket and its payload of 60 Starlink satellites should be quite visible as it passes over the UK after launch. What Time? The Starlink launch is expected at 21:39 BST (UK Time). This may change so stay up to date on launch timings with @VirtualAstro on twitter and Facebook. The final stage of the rocket and its cargo of satellites should be visible approximately 10 – 15 minutes after launch. So, start looking at 21:55 if the launch goes to plan. Give yourself a few minutes leeway either side. Please note: Northern areas of the UK may not be able to see the spacecraft immediately after launch due to sunset times, especially in Scotland. However, you should be able to see the satellites on consecutive passes.
