There are over a thousand up there. You can see individual satellites now just by looking at the clear sky at night for a while, you'll find some. I see a couple of them almost every night.

Someone told me there was a line of them last night, probably from the most recent launch, but I couldn't find them.

Awesome. I was going to get my son a telescope for this sort of thing.

The coolest satellite sighting I’ve had was when I was up on Mt. Hood a few summers ago and could see it really well. There was a meteor shower going on too.

Large mountains and infinite space are humbling in a good way.

That night was quite a journey. :-)
