See it on the live map Starlink train tonight?
Until 22 October, none of the most recent Starlink trains will pass over Santiago de Chile in a way that is easy to see with the naked eye. As soon as there is a new launch, this page will update itself.
This is a forecast, not a certainty: we look 20 days ahead (until 22 October) and the orbits of new satellites change, so the further away the date, the less reliable it is.
No night-time passes over Santiago de Chile in the next 20 days: all its passes happen in daylight and cannot be seen.
This group has already spread out (launched 12 days ago): its satellites no longer pass in a line and it no longer looks like a train. Trains are easiest to see during the first days after launch.
This group has already spread out (launched 26 days ago): its satellites no longer pass in a line and it no longer looks like a train. Trains are easiest to see during the first days after launch.
Times in local time for Santiago de Chile (America/Santiago). Only night-time passes are listed; daytime passes cannot be seen. Highlighted in green are the passes that are easy to see with the naked eye: the train is high in the sky, still lit by the Sun, and your sky is already dark. Reliability drops the further away the pass is, because new satellites keep raising their orbit. Data calculated on 2 October 2026 at 12:06 UTC; the page updates itself every morning.
Find a place with little light and look towards the point where it appears a few minutes before the time. You can see it with the naked eye, no telescope needed: a line of points of light moving silently across the sky. The most spectacular trains are the ones in the first days after a launch, while the satellites are still very close together. What is a Starlink train?
