Starlink satellites launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Saturday were seen in the sky all the way in Virginia. A video shared by Twitter user @TechBarnold shows the string of lights trailing across the night sky over Leesburg, Va. SpaceX launched 52 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at 7:32 p.m. ET, the company said in a statement. The Starlink satellite constellation operated by SpaceX provides internet service, with plans announced for cellular service in the future. It was the fourth launch and landing for the Falcon 9 first-stage booster used on the mission. It previously launched the SES-22 geostationary communications satellite for telecommunications company SES, along with two other Starlink missions.
