Starlink satellites can be seen frequently, especially shortly after new launches when the satellites travel in a bright "train" formation. These satellites orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes, so sometimes you can see the same satellites again within about 2 hours as they return to a similar position in the sky

. Visibility is best shortly after sunset or before sunrise when the satellites reflect sunlight while the observer is in darkness

. The bright train of satellites is most noticeable in the days following a launch, as the satellites are still clustered in low orbits before dispersing into their operational orbits, after which they become harder to see with the naked eye

. Because SpaceX launches Starlink satellites frequently-sometimes multiple times a week-there are many opportunities to see them. However, once the satellites reach their final orbit, they are less visible without optical aids

. Tracking apps like Satellite Tracker, Sky Tonight, or Star Walk 2 can help you know exactly when and where to look for them in your location

. In summary:

• Starlink satellites orbit the Earth every 90 minutes, allowing for multiple sightings in a single night or within a couple of hours

• They are most visible shortly after launch as a bright train of lights crossing the sky

• Visibility is best just after sunset or before sunrise

• Frequent launches mean regular chances to see them, but older satellites in final orbits are harder to spot without assistance

• Using satellite tracking apps can improve your chances of seeing them

Thus, depending on your location and timing, you can see Starlink satellites multiple times per night or on many nights, especially around new launches.
