What are the fast moving lights in the night sky?

If you saw a row of lights moving in unison, chances are you're witnessing the Starlink satellite array operated by SpaceX

Starlink is a satellite array designed to provide broadband internet access globally.

Currently, there are more than 2,000 Starlink satellites orbiting Earth.

Satellites orbiting the Earth very often look like points of light which are moving relative to the background stars.

Earth orbiting satellites shine by reflected light from the Sun, but they are small so that reflected light looks a lot like a star.
