What was in the sky this morning?

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s a Starlink satellite. This morning, several viewers reached out, asking what a strange light was in the sky. While many people had their theories, we’ve learned that light was from SpaceX launching Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. You can read what SpaceX says about that here. On its website, the company posted:”On Saturday, July 26 at 5:01 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.”This was the 22nd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-B, USSF-124, Bluebird 1-5, and now 18 Starlink missions.”
