       StarLink Satellite Tracker

       I read that StarLink was already pretty far along, but this site
       gives a visual idea of it:

       I think the little white dots are currently active satellites.
       I remember thinking that the night sky is kind of the last
       frontier in terms of being polluted. I'd rather see stars than
       satellites whizzing by, but I think they said they were trying
       to reduce the satellites' visibility so that is good to hear.

       The night sky is something I'm really appreciating here at the
       homestead. The view is already great out by the barn, but in the
       horse paddock it is striking. There is no artificial light out
       there at all so all the stars are visible.
       I think some president once said we'd all be better off if we
       looked up at the stars more regularly. It simultaneously reminds
       you that your problems aren't actually so big, while also
       reminding you that you're a real part of this vast universe
       that's been around a real long time now. I've never looked up at
       the stars and thought, "Gee that was a waste of time".

       The night sky is pretty good out at the lake house, but the
       neighbors two doors down have a horrible security light that
       ruins it.  I have a new neighbor next door (between us) that
       doesn’t like it either.  There is even some discussion that it
       might not even be the neighbors light, but rather something put
       up by the local city government. It wasn’t there ten years ago
       when I bought my place, but I can’t rightly remember when it
       appeared, exactly.
       The house where it’s located is owned now by an 80 y.o.
       widow.....her husband having passed sometime in the last several
       years too, while I wasn’t paying attention.
       The roof of the boathouse I built during lockdown would be a
       fantastic place to stargaze from....if we can just get rid of
       the damn light.And yes, I have thought about shooting it
       out.....but I guess I’m too law-abiding in my old age.
