Starlink Satellites Illuminate the Night Sky

This Sunday evening, observers in France were treated to a cosmic show as the Starlink satellites traversed the sky. The bright trail consists of several satellites launched by SpaceX, a visionary project led by billionaire Elon Musk. With the ambition of connecting the world through high-speed internet, these satellites are frequently sent into orbit in groups of 60.

As reported by Xplora on social media, the Starlink satellites launched just the night before were visible from around 6:30 PM. Many in different regions of the country caught sight of this extraordinary spectacle.
