SpaceX successfully launched a cluster of 22 Starlink satellites on Monday morning. These satellites, along with thousands of others previously launched, orbit the Earth. On Tuesday evening, the Starlink satellites will pass over Israel’s skies, providing a visible spectacle without the need for binoculars or telescopes.

The satellite cluster will be visible in Israel on Tuesday evening between 8:45 p.m. and 8:49 p.m. It will move in a column from the northwest to the east. The precise timing of the satellite pass can be checked for specific locations.

SpaceX, the company behind the Starlink satellite network, was established by Elon Musk. The Starlink project aims to provide global broadband internet coverage by placing thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit. The company envisions enabling reliable internet access in remote and underserved areas worldwide.

The deployment of the Starlink satellites has sparked some concerns regarding their potential impact on astronomical observations. The satellites are highly reflective and can interfere with observations performed by ground-based telescopes. SpaceX has taken steps to alleviate the issue by working on making the satellites less bright and by actively seeking input from the scientific community.

This latest cluster of Starlink satellites adds to the growing network in orbit around Earth. As more satellites are launched, the promise of global internet coverage becomes closer to a reality. Keeping track of satellite passes and their visibility in different regions allows enthusiasts and interested observers to witness the progress of SpaceX’s ambitious endeavor.
