Starlink satellite chain's appearance was a cool twist, it looked so pretty. We were there too.
What time was it? I saw the satellites from Spanish banks, but had to face south to see them.
The satellite train was at 2 am
that makes sense, I saw it earlier, around 10pm or so.
How come u ppl get to see the aurora at beaches even tho the beaches closes at like 7 pm ?
I visited wreck beach and crescent beach and both had signs saying closed after like 7 or 8 pm
Whole night was not visible by the naked eye. Was only visible through a camera. There was pillars already at 11 pm. It was on and off throughout the night. I called it a night at 2:30 am. SpaceX Starlink satellites made an appearance during a quiet period. That was the most visible objects in the sky. lol

Was this last night or a few weeks ago?
Last night
Just curious, do you know beforehand if it'd be visible by the naked eye? I saw the alert from the random app I installed on my phone but couldn't see anything outside
Nope. I cross my fingers everytime.
