LONG ISLAND, NY — It was only a glimpse, but it made a lasting impression.
Long Island residents venturing outside, whether to walk their dogs or put out the trash, were treated to a brief spectacle on New Year’s saw SpaceX’s Starlink satellite cluster lined up in the night sky. It was seen for only few minutes, then quickly disappeared.
Many who saw it rushed for their cell phones or cameras to record the event, but it was gone by the time they came back. They later rushed to chime in on social media either asking what it was or declared it.
SpaceX said it launched its last Starlink satellite missions of 2024 on Tuesday, Space.com. The trains are usually seen shortly after deploying, the site reported.
Not long after a brilliant sunset over the south shore of Mastic-Shirley, the satellite train became visible overhead. It was spotted over eastern Long Island, according to posts on Facebook.
