    I hear that as a result of the recent Falcon 9 launch problems, ca 20 Starlink satellites didn’t enter orbit correctly and they might re-enter the atmosphere. Might anyone know more, especially if they might be observable and when?

    There is an interesting paper on ArXiv today that looks at the effect of geomagnetic activity in the re-entry of Starlink satellites, especially during the rising phase of Cycle 25: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.13752
