This week’s SpaceX launch puts the total number of Starlink satellites orbiting Earth at over one thousand.
A recent SpaceX launch has apparently caused quite a commotion in Los Angeles when the rocket’s payload reached orbit and became visible to those on the ground.
According to TMZ, the ensuing spectacle, which appeared as “string of lights moving across the sky in unison”, left many onlookers in LA puzzled and somewhat uncertain about what exactly they were witnessing.
As the media outlet points out, however, the objects spotted in the sky were no UFOs but rather the result of a Falcon 9 rocket delivering some 60 Starlink satellites in orbit earlier this week, with the total number of these satellites circling our planet now exceeding 1,000.
