Image of the NGC 5353/4 galaxy group on 25 May 2019. The diagonal lines are trails of reflected light left by some of the 60 recently launched Starlink satellites as they passed through the field of view. Note that the satellite density declined in the days after launch, compared to that seen here. The satellites also diminished in brightness as they reached their final orbital altitude.
