Starlink is a mega constellation of Elon Musk's satellites, with the aim of bringing high-speed internet to anywhere in the world. To date, more than 3,000 satellites of this constellation have been launched, with at least a total of 12,000 satellites planned, with the possibility of later expanding to a total of 42,000 satellites
NOTES:
- As of 2023-Jan-29, there are a total of 3,773 Starlink satellites launched in 70 flights since 2019, with 3,389 satellites in active service and 328 satellites decommissioned
- To see the Starlink shell from afar, first open `Settings`, then disable `Objects->Stars`, set `Star Style` to `Scaled Discs`, and on `Render Parameters`, set the `Faintest Stars` bar to 12.00
