When and where to look for Starlink satellites as they head over Central Indiana

The Starlink satellite train may be visible in central Indiana this week through Thursday night.

Starlink was developed by SpaceX to bring internet service to customers globally.

What Starlink lights look like

Since they are chains of satellites that orbit together, they appear in the sky as a string of white lights. The Starlink satellites are visible for a short time and can be seen without the help of telescopes or binoculars.

When Starlink will be visible in Indiana

Here's when FindStarlink, a website dedicated to tracking Starlink’s current location, says the satellites are expected to be seen in the coming days:

Tuesday: Possibly visible for 4 minutes beginning at 8:39 p.m. starting in the northwest and heading east. Visibility may be limited on Tuesday night due to cloud coverage and a forecast of showers and thunderstorms between 7-9 p.m.

Wednesday: Possibly visible for 4 minutes beginning at 8:42 p.m. starting in the west and moving southeast. There is also a chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday night that could affect visibility.

Thursday: Possibly visible for 4 minutes beginning at 8:45 p.m. starting in the west and moving south. Thursday night it is expected to be clear skies.

Many variables can impact Starlink’s travel path and level of visibility, so those who want the best chance of seeing Starlink should be on the lookout before and after the expected sighting time.
