You didn’t see anything, it was expected to happen today
You dig that photo from media

You are right have seen it in Google and it is starlink satellite

That's exactly how it appeared yesterday same time as posted. Just like stars moving in chain like form. It lasted for 15-20 seconds.

In real life it's just a single line.

But the lines seems to be broken on camera

lovediehatelive:
Saw this thing this evening around few minutes past 7pm.

It passed through the sky, slim, and like a tail of light following it.


It's just like when a speed boat drives through water, the spalsh it leaves behind.
Some people were saying it's a jet.

What is it called

It is rocket science but there's something called a telescope people can use to observe these things.

I also saw it in Uyo at the same past 7pm
No one has given creditable information about what it is🤦🏽‍♂️

Elon Musk! Elon Musk!! Always Active Elon Musk!!! Those are Starlink Satellite train orbiting the Earth...... Sometimes, i see my Starlink dish rotating and adjusting to follow the movement of this Satellite train.

Satellites don’t move! They seem stationary wen seen from the earth. Cos they move with the earth. The Satellites over Nigeria are permanently over Nigeria. Moving in sync with the movement of Nigeria in space. Satellites don’t travel across the sky like airplanes

AmazingELixir:
That's a presenter airline with the window rolled up....UFO indeed.

Infact do never take official explanations about celestial movements serious. They are always deceiving the masses.

Satellites move. . Even the ones that seem stationary move. They move like planes in space around their orbits . That's why they have orbital velocity and orbital period. For stationary satellites their orbital period try to match 24 hours of the earth's rotation. Starlink satellites have orbital periods of 60 mins to 120 mins and can easily be seen moving in space from the earth. They orbit at about 20,000 miles per hour...not too sure about the specifics.

Right. That's how it was designed.

The earth is moving at 67,000 miles per hour. If your so called starlink Satellite is moving at 20,000 miles per hour, then it’s the most stationary thing i’ve ever seen. Satellites are location specific. Nigerian satellites in space must always be above Nigeria, else they won’t work. As Nigeria is moving from darkness to light and back again in rotation, the satellite must follow at the same pace. That’s why they look stationary wen u see stars at night

iamtardey:
Damn you’re lucky to catch this on camera tho 👍

Where is the picture?

stanisbaratheon:
Is this 3 phase or single phase meter?

3 phase

goldmatrix:
Are you supposed to worry about that light which has magnitude and direction or your tinubu and the economy which has neither magnitude nor direction?
Nigerians..

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're doing well. You need to understand the basics. However your response is not uncommon.

First understand that everything is moving in space.

The earth is moving round the sun at 67,000 mph.
The solar system is moving round the Milky way galaxy at 504,000 mph
Our galaxy is moving round the Local Group and the so on.

The Starlink satellites were not deployed to move round the Sun's orbit. They're orbiting the earth.

Going with your analogy how come planes moving at 1,000 mph are not stationary but can move from point A to B?
How come I can travel from Lagos to Abuja at 60 mph and not stationary.

The satellites are deployed at 200 to 300 miles from the earth and are traveling at 17,000 mph.
They maintain their orbit by that velocity and the earth's gravitational pull.

if you don’t see it you probably missed it ✌🏿

I like how you made your point without throwing jabs.....Well, the truth is that Satellites are not stationary. They orbit the earth; likewise Elon Musk Starlink. That is why the moon is also referred to as a natural Satellite, because it moves around the earth just like man-made satellites.

There are different types of satellites:
Geostationary satellites orbit at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, which means they stay fixed above the same spot on the ground. This makes them ideal for things like TV broadcasting and weather monitoring.
Theoretically, you don't need a stationary satellite for internet connection.

i dont have ur time, lol

Yeye dey smell, you don't have my time but yet you reply. Craze dey worry you on a low
