Where is the Starlink train right now?
Every Starlink launch, batch by batch, with trains flagged live →
A Starlink train is the dramatic "string of pearls" you see in the sky shortly after a launch, before the satellites spread out to their operational orbits. azmth automatically detects active trains by launch batch and shows their altitude and orbit-raising status. Enable your location to find out when the next train passes overhead.
Trains in formation right now
No batch is currently in train formation.
Just watched a launch? New Starlink batches can show up here within hours, tracked from SpaceX's own orbit data until the public tracking catalog lists them. This page updates automatically every 2 hours, and every batch gets a permanent page on the launches index.
Frequently asked
Can I see a Starlink train tonight?
Yes, if a batch launched in the last few days. Trains are easiest to see in the first days after a launch, shortly after sunset or before sunrise. The live list on this page shows every train still flying in formation, and setting your location gives the exact times one passes over you.
Why do Starlink satellites form a line?
They are released together into nearly the same orbit, so for a few days they travel in a tight evenly-spaced line before raising and dispersing to their operational positions.
