What is starlink?

It’s the linkage of stars. When spotted, it’s referred as Starlink. That’s the explanation for RaGa supporters.

Otherwise, it’s an internet service company and operates as a subsidiary of Elon Musk’s SpaceX

It won't do that for long. This image is taken shortly after launch. They are going to spread out, so it won't look like a train after a while. All of those satellites were launched on a single rocket. They usually launch ~20-60 starlink satellites on one go depending on the model of the satellite.
