    I saw one the SpaceX satellite in the sky the other night, they're VERY bright.

    • No you didn't and no they're not 'VERY bright' - they're fucking tiny. You probably saw either the ISS or one of the remaining Iridium satellites.Nairn

      Having just checked, apparently their newer ones are also quite small. Not as small as Starlink though.      Nairn
    • I saw the ISS multiple times, it was bigger and brighter than the ISS, never saw that before and I'm a sky watcherBennn
    • If it was bigger and brighter than the ISS, it most certainly wasn't one of musk's new satellites.
