Leicestershire will be able to see Elon Musk's satellite train tonight

By Graham Hill 21st Apr 2020

Ashby residents will be able to spot Elon Musk's Starlink satellite train tonight (Tuesday).

The satellites have been seen all over Western Europe, with many saying they looked like 'Santa's sleigh'.

Starlink is the informal name for Elon Musk's space project, Space Project X.

The aim of the project is to launch lots of low-orbit satellites to create a hyper-speed internet connection.

You could spot the Starlink tonight (Tuesday) - although visibility might not be good - at around 8.58pm. And there are likely to be plenty of chances to catch a sight this week.

The spectacle should be visible for the rest of the week, space experts say.
