No, it’s not an alien invasion. The parade of lights seen crossing the night sky was not an incoming armada of alien warships — rather hundreds of small satellites bringing internet access to the world.
The satellites, which were visible in North Texas earlier this week, are expected to have"good" visibility on Friday and Sunday nights with each pass lasting about five or six minutes.
Friday night, look from the north to the northeast, about 10 degrees off the horizon up to about 27 degrees, beginning at about 9:40 p.m. CT. On Sunday, they'll be visible earlier, at about 9:15 p.m. CT, but this time moving from the northwest to the east but again coming into view at about 10 degrees off the horizon but moving up higher in the sky to 50 degrees.
To date, SpaceX has launched more than 1,500 Starlink satellites into orbit including 120 this month. Another 60 are being launched on May 9 and another 60 after that are expected to be launched before the end of the month.
