Crazy coincidence. I was outside chatting with my brother and I was telling him about starlink satellite trains because he's never seen one. Then this one flew by not 10 minutes later. I could hardly have planned it better.

These are from mission Starlink Group 3-2.

I had this image in my mind that they would be more scattered across the sky attempting to link a large geographic area. interesting to see this. Thanks for posting.

They do separate a LOT more than that, but these launched just 2 days ago so they haven't had enough time yet. They tend to remain in a more-or-less straight line relative to each other though, but they expand out to circle around the whole earth with more even spacing.

Cool.
 
Looks like a plane towing one of those advertising banners over a sporting event.

You're lucky for having a backyard like that :D

Cameras do make a difference, no doubt about it
