Don’t Miss SpaceX’s Dazzling Starlink “Satellite Train” – Here’s How to Watch It

Don’t Miss SpaceX’s Dazzling Starlink “Satellite Train” – Here’s How to Watch It

As of August 2025, there are over 8,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, with about 8,075 currently functioning and accounting for roughly 65% of all active satellites. Starlink satellites orbit at roughly 550 km (340 miles) altitude and are launched in batches of 50+ on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, with each satellite weighing 260–800 kg depending on version. They are visible because they reflect sunlight, best seen in the hour after sunset or before sunrise when the sun is 10–30 degrees below the horizon, appearing as a moving train of lights. Early satellites were extremely bright, leading SpaceX to test DarkSat

You Won’t Believe How Easily You Can Spot the ISS – Ultimate International Space Station Viewing Guide

You Won’t Believe How Easily You Can Spot the ISS – Ultimate International Space Station Viewing Guide

The ISS is roughly football-field-sized, sits about 250 miles above Earth, travels at about 17,500 mph, and completes an orbit every ~92 minutes, circling Earth about 16 times per day. Its orbit is inclined about 51.6° to the equator, so its ground track passes over more than 90% of Earth’s population and it never goes farther north than 51.6° N or south than 51.6° S. It shines by reflected sunlight, is often the third-brightest object after the Sun and Moon, appears as a steady white dot with no blinking, and can flare slightly when sunlight glints off its solar panels.

Putin–Trump Anchorage Summit: Secret Tech Deals, Cyber Power Plays, and the Arctic Icebreaker Gamble

The Anchorage talks occurred in mid-August 2025 in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, aimed primarily at ending the war in Ukraine. No public cyber accords were announced at the summit, signaling tacit accommodation on cyber issues. In March 2025, a senior U.S. cyber diplomat omitted Russia from a list of major state cyber threats, signaling a softening stance. New START is due to expire in February 2026, and Putin indicated openness to a new arms-control accord that Trump reportedly wants. Verification for a New START successor would likely rely on data exchanges, on-site inspections, and national technical means
