Starlink tracker: satellites now and trains you can see
Starlink satellites in CelesTrak's public catalogue now: 11,188 (as of 15 November 2026). The newest launch group, 2026-246, went up 15 days ago with 27 satellites listed.

Can I see a Starlink train tonight?
No Starlink group has been launched in the last 10 days, so there is no fresh train to see right now. You may still spot single Starlink satellites gliding across the sky soon after dusk or before dawn. A train is visible for a few days after a launch, low in the sky near dusk or dawn, before the satellites climb and spread out.
What is the line of lights in the sky?
A straight line of evenly spaced, moving lights is almost always a Starlink "train": satellites from one launch, still close together on their way up to their working orbit. They shine by reflecting sunlight, so you see them near dusk or dawn. Planes blink and make noise; satellites glide silently and don't flash.
Why do Starlink trains fade after a few days?
After launch, the satellites raise their orbits and spread out along them, so the tight line breaks up. Once in their working orbit and orientation they reflect much less light toward the ground, and most become hard to see without help. That's why trains are a show of the first days after a launch.
How many Starlink satellites are in orbit?
Thousands, and the number changes with every launch and every satellite retired. Rather than quote a figure that goes stale, this page counts the Starlink satellites in CelesTrak's public catalogue: 11,188 on 15 November 2026. "In orbit" and "in service" aren't the same, because some are still climbing and others are being lowered for disposal.
How to spot Starlink satellites
- Go out in the first hour or two after sunset, or before sunrise: the satellites need sunlight while your sky is dark.
- Get away from bright lights and give your eyes ten minutes to adjust.
- Check the table above for your city and face the direction the train appears from.
- Look for a line of steady, evenly spaced lights moving together. Single satellites look like slow, faint stars drifting in a straight line.
- Be patient: a train can take a few minutes to cross, and it may fade as it enters Earth's shadow.
Is this the Starlink internet coverage map?
No. This page tracks the satellites themselves. For internet service, availability and coverage at your address, see Starlink's own availability map. For Wi-Fi on a flight, check your airline.
How we compute this
The catalogue count and launch dates come from CelesTrak's satellite catalogue; positions and visible windows come from CelesTrak's published orbital elements run through the SGP4 model. A window counts when the group's middle satellite is at least 10° up, sunlit, under a dark sky. We don't predict cloud or exact brightness. Element sets are refreshed twice a day.
