The May sky continues to amaze Ukrainians with its bright night spectacles. Shortly after the superbolide outbreak, a new unusual phenomenon could be observed that night over Kiev and some other regions.
The night sky was decorated with a light circle resembling an eye. In some cases it also had two spiral arms radiating from the central part of the circle. According to the Alpha Centauri channel, this is what the second stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 carrier looked like.
It should be noted that on May 2, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with a pair of Maxar Intelligence satellites ordered by WorldView Legion. The launch took place from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, at 21:36 Kyiv time. And already at approximately 22:50 Kyiv time, the second stage of Falcon 9 was located exactly where this object was observed in the sky – in the northwest.
The light gray line is the trajectory of the stage over Europe, which could be observed in Ukraine.
The first two Maxar-1 satellites are designed to observe the Earth. Each has powerful cameras capable of taking precise images of small objects and features on the Earth's surface. They provide a resolution of 30 cm. In total, the company plans to deploy a fleet of 6 such satellites. With their high resolution, they are expected to triple Maxar's ability to collect high-quality images and map the planet.
The Maxar-1 satellite launch mission was the 20th flight of the Falcon 9 first stage. It was SpaceX's 44th launch of 2024 and the 328th Falcon 9 launch. Following the separation of the first stage, approximately 8.5 minutes after takeoff, she returned to Landing Area 4 at Vandenberg, marking SpaceX's 303rd launch vehicle landing.
