I have read a lot about the impact of Starlink on the night sky, and have seen the "trains" of newly launched satellites. But today I saw this map, which plots them all, in real time. Or you can speed it up a bit.

I understand there are plans to put up at least two more constellations this dense. I have no words.

@sundogplanets Have you seen this site- it makes the point rather starkly.
