Did my digging around given the latest news that SpaceX filed paperwork to offer telecom/internet service to rural Canada.

Some of you caught this from me pasting the link in #wetfish, but, hey, there's more interesting stuff:

How about ... the current state of the Starlink constellation across the entire globe?

That's super cool, I know they've been doing a bunch of launches but I'd never seen a real time global coverage map like that. I like how you can see all of the stacks of satellites on top of eachother and seeing different groups slowly drift apart.

Some of those dense lines are the more recent launches, and they're still moving/drifting to their ultimate position.

Apparently they're up to about 600 satellites in the constellation at this point.

Yeah! They just kinda slowly drift apart from eachother
