Satellites

Darrell Green

Sorry but this is too cool not to share. If you are able to watch the sky tonight or tomorrow just after sunset, you will get the show of a lifetime. Multiple batches of 50 satellites just got dropped in low Earth orbit. They are presently going through MASSIVE intricate corrections to get into permanent orbit. This means you get to watch actual rocket burst adjustments as they start, stop, turn, reverse course and wander around like fireflies. Craziest night sky I have ever witnessed. Absolutely bizarre and exciting. I watched one at full speed come to a stop,sit for over five minutes, then course correct with full rocket burn in 90 degree corrections, four times. Truly a once in a lifetime show.
