Satellite caravan over Fuerteventura

from the site I use, Find Starlink:

Hi there, based on user reports, the following Starlink trains are now difficult to see: Starlink-6, Starlink-7, and Starlink-8.

This is because Starlink's company has reduced their brightness (to avoid disturbing astronomers): more details

But almost every day, some people are still able to see it, so it is visible sometimes. You can still try at your location, and with luck it'll be bright enough to be visible! Smile I'm working on predicting this better.

The next Starlink launch is planned for mid-July, and those new Starlinks will be very bright for 3-4 days after that. Good luck! (Update: The new Starlink satellites are launching in a few hours!) Times for sightings are not yet available.

(Tamara: still worth having a look to see if you can spot it, Weather permitting. The timing may be out by 10 minutes either way.)

Hi Tamara we sat on our sun loungers on our roof terrace last night between 10 and 10.45 but unfortunately didn't see anything in El Cotillo just wondering if you saw anything from Tindaya?

Homemade! I've made one each week for several months now while the limes are in season, dread the thought of the calories  Rolleyes but so easy to make! and lime marmalade .... just contemplating what to do with my last bucketful!

Sounds like heaven, I remember trying it for the first time in Florida, very addictive! Best not to think about the ammount of condensed milk in it.... I can't have too many Limes though, sounds like you are lucky enough to have a Lime tree! Just finished my jar of Lidl orange/lime marmelade.

On topic, last night was a great full moon, but I was just out staring at the pastel blue haze thinking the same as you  Smile
