It is raining Starlink satellites. 865 came already down, another 329 are on their way down. Most come down in small harmless fragments, but there is a very small chance you might be killed by larger pieces weighing a few pounds.

Wow, more than 10% loss? Is that normal?

Their specified lifetime is five years, and given what they sent up, they seem to be hitting that target, and we can expect 1000-1500 coming down every year soon, and up to 7000 per year should the extended constellation of 34,400 satellites be reached. Lots of trash.

@pavel23 @crash_override Comparing the data: That means that between 2022 and 2025 the number og Satellites growed from 1919 to 7916????馃槻 That's kind if shocking....
