THE clock is ticking to tonight's satellite Starlink show - but it will be better say experts!

Thurrock residents who were disappointed by last night's sky show as Elon Musk's satellites passed overhead should get a better view this evening.

Essex Weather Centre says that 8.58pm is the time to look skywards this evening to see the 'Starlink Train' over Essex.

Just after 7.45pm this evening (21 April) a spokesperson for the centre said: "There is a lot of high cloud around currently which may affect viewing but the satellites should be much brighter than last night."
