Is it true that artificial satellites in low Earth orbit can be seen from the ground with the naked eye?

Yes. A peer-reviewed study of the LEO satellite population reports that low-altitude satellites appear visually bright to ground observers and that the initial Starlink satellites are naked-eye objects. A separate answer denies naked-eye visibility only for geostationary satellites, which is a different orbit and does not undercut the LEO claim.
