SpaceX now offers a special Starlink internet service for campers. Here's what you need to know about it.
According to a report by PCMag earlier this week, the newest Starlink RV internet will allow you to use the service even though you're away from home, especially if you're traveling with your friends.
For those who need to have an immediate and accessible source of internet, you can get this right away. What's more, there's no waitlist on this, so you can immediately get it as soon as you pay for it.
Although there's no waitlist for this internet service, there's a catch that you need to know. Compared to the usual Starlink connection, it will cost over $25 more for its price. In short, you can subscribe to this service for $135.
To put it simpler, SpaceX has rolled out this RV option that is almost similar to the regular option, on top of the new "Portability" feature that was added earlier this month.

What's Good With Starlink RVs
Per a story from Engadget, there are a lot of things that users can do with RVs. As we know, the regular internet relies on home service, and it won't apply to some users.
For this part, those who purchase the RVs option can pause and unpause the service. This means that they take hold of the start and end of the billing.
It should be noted that this service is deprioritized in terms of the network so expect that it won't go smoother than the usual connection. In some areas, you might experience issues in connecting to the internet, especially during peak hours.
SpaceX wrote on its Help page that there's no guarantee for the uninterrupted service use and stated speeds for RVs. At this point, the space firm is actually prioritizing those who are subscribed to home internet service.
Another thing that RV users need to know is its limitations. For instance, they won't be able to use it while in a moving vehicle. On Twitter, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk clarified this issue, citing that the network dish's size is too huge for the vehicles.
In other news, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a strange photo of a star formation building up in the galaxy. In their Wednesday blog post, the international space agency named this phenomenon "river of star formation" in their Wednesday blog post.
Tech Times noted that NASA was aware of these encounters. The agency said that the common sighting for these dwarf galaxies was billions of light-years away from the planet.
