Elon Musk's Starlink satellites light up sky in south of England

A trail of bright lights have been spotted in the night skies in the south of England. The lights are not Father Christmas making a trial flight in his sleigh or a new constellation - but Starlink satellites launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

A trail of bright lights have been spotted in the night skies in the south of England.

The lights are not Father Christmas making a trial flight in his sleigh or a new constellation - but Starlink satellites launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The chain of lights can bee seen for the rest of the week.

Apps and websites can be used to check when and where to spot the display.

At sunrise and sunset, the satellites are visible to the naked eye because the sun glints off their wings.

The satellites appear as small, fast-moving bright lights and can be spotted in the sky without binoculars or a telescope.

Here are some more pictures of the spectacle captured in the skies above the region.
