Tonight and next few days. I'm looking forward to seeing this, some exciting for a change!
Starlink is a satellite constellation that is being constructed by American company SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk.
The firm sends satellites up into the Earth’s orbit in batches of 60, with the most recent launch taking place in mid-March.
Another batch is scheduled to be launched on 22 April.

Wednesday 22 April - 4.04am. Starlink-3 will be visible over the UK for four minutes, travelling from southwest to east.
At 9.34pm, Starlink-5,6 will be visible over the UK skies for six minutes, travelling west to east, and again at 11.10pm for six minutes, travelling from west to west.
Thursday 23 April - 3.06am. Starlink-3 will be visible over the UK for two minutes, travelling southeast to east.
At 4.39am, Starlink-3 will be visible over the UK for six minutes, travelling west to east, and at 10.10pm Starlink-5,6 will be visible for six minutes, travelling west to east.
Friday 24 April - 3.41am. Starlink-3 will be visible over the UK skies for four minutes, travelling from southwest to east.
The satellites will appear as ‘trains’ of bright lights and can be spotted in the sky without binoculars or a telescope.
You will need a clear sky and as little light around you as possible in order to see them, so it is best to avoid looking at your phone screen too much, and turn off any outdoor lighting.
