Monitors stars over Derbyshire was amazed when I saw something similar to a new "constellation" in the night sky.
Almost perfect line was formed by Starlink satellites launched by the company SpaceX, the company Elon musk (Elon Musk) at the beginning of this year. They were seen flying through Derbyshire and the Peak district.
Tom Sparrow, an Amateur photographer, said that the satellites were a real spectacle.
Researcher of archaeology of Bradford University accidentally caught orbital passage in the video in the time interval in the Peak district. He said
"It's a strange sight, I knew that they form a train, so when I saw two, I realized what it was. The international space station, probably in this point has the same brightness".
However, the unusual spectacle has excited some residents. Explorer bi-Bi-si in the County of Derby ed Dawes tweeted:
"Why is a straight line of stars moving in a convoy overhead at high altitude? That was weird."
Anthony Southwell, a representative of the Derby and District astronomical society, confirmed that they are the companions of Starlink. He said
"It's not a very large satellites, but they reflect very well, and they catch sunlight, so they are lit. They are deployed in the built lines and are more noticeable because they are in low orbit".
