This resident of Fauguerolles, near Marmande in Lot-et-Garonne, still can’t believe it. However, he had the right reflex, at the right time: looking towards the sky at 7:45 p.m., this Saturday, December 9, 2023.

And manage to capture the suite of satellites of the Starlink program, of Elon Musk, the billionaire who also launched his own space program, Space X.

Satellites that remain aligned for months

The photo is particularly clear, and we can therefore very clearly see this very particular alignment of light points.

Seen almost everywhere in France for months, this alignment is still impressive.

Launched from Earth at regular intervals, these satellites remain aligned for several weeks or even months.

During this interval, they form this line of luminous points which are observable with the naked eye.
