Meteor Shower And Satellite 'Train' Caught On Camera: "Fairly Bright And Impressive"

The video was captured by the Subaru Telescope installed near the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

The Perseid meteor shower earlier this month delighted skygazers who saw shooting star-like space objects falling from the night sky. But one telescope in Hawaii captured an impressive sight and its video is now going viral. The highlight was not the meteor shower, but a satellite 'train' moving through the sky. According to the BBC, the group of 15 dots appearing in the horizon above were SpaceX's Starlink satellites. The video was captured by the Subaru Telescope in Mauna Kea. A Starlink satellite train was captured over the #SubaruTelescope, Maunakea, Hawai`i, during the special live for the Perseid Meteor Shower on August 11, 2023 (HST).Watch the video⬇️https://t.co/ZK3dxbSVsaCredit: NAOJ & Asahi Shimbun pic.twitter.com/pu5kPnXfZT
