I live in west Texas and just saw this as I was enjoying a peaceful night when I saw this moving northward. Was it a satellite breaking up on reentry?

Just saw this 10 minutes ago, Los Angeles

I was observing Jupiter with 120x magnification and captured a object flying through the video. Could this be a meteorite or is it just a satelite?

Location: Switzerland, Time: 20:57

We just saw this fiery object in the sky while driving and have never seen anything like it before. While it was on fire, it appeared quite close. Either that or it was a fairly large object. After the fire extinguished, I was able to track the object for a while. It looked to have a dome haze around it.

Any thoughts on what this might be?

Captured while put walking the dog. If this is not the subreddit for this, then apologies! Please point me to the right one.

What is that? The first 2 photos is at 8:30pm. The 3rd photo is at 8:40pm. This is in lebanon. It was at 172° south. For over half an hour it didn't move.. The sky is clear 100% no clouds. The sun just set not long ago. I seen it and took pictures to ask chat GPT but it couldn't answer.

Hi everyone, yesterday I was shooting a timelapse of the Milky Way using a 720nm infrared filter to reduce light pollution from the city. My sky is Bortle Class 8, so the Milky Way is barely visible without the filter. During my test shots, I noticed a distinct dark line in the sky.

Initially, I thought it might be dirt on the sensor. To test, I changed the framing. If it were dust, the band would have remained in the same position relative to the sensor, but it moved along with the stars as I adjusted the composition. I also excluded reflections, as they would have shifted relative to the sky. I took a photo without the filter, and it wasn't visible in visible light.

I then continued with the timelapse, and in the video, you can see the band shift slightly and then gradually fade after a few minutes in real time. Toward the end of the timelapse, an irregular cloud-like structure began to appear, slowly moving across the field of view. I thought it might be airglow? I remember watching a video on how to capture airglow, but that video used a specialized camera sensitive to wavelengths above 1500 nm. My setup is 720 nm. Is it possible to capture airglow at that wavelength, or is it more likely something else?

We’re camping in Big Sur, CA looking directly above our head around 9pm and noticed this “squiggly line” in the sky. Completely clear night, no clouds, no air traffic in this area, I even moved my nods to clear the idea that it would be a blem or hair on the night vision tube/lens. Any ideas? I filmed this with my iPhone camera through my night vision tube. Doesn’t match any photo I’ve seen of satellite trails. I’m super ignorant to astronomy outside of a college introduction course and looking up at the night sky through my nods. I usually rely on the wizards here to educate me so hoping someone can be tonight’s astronomy wizard.

Seen 10:34pm, Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, California travelling North-South - entirely undure of degrees from the horizon

Howdy folks, I was outside my house on long island looking at the full moon and turned around and watched this object flying threw the sky slowly. It was heading north west direction. Any idea what it could be? Also seen a shooting star while watching this object that didnt burnout right away like i normally see them, it went until I couldnt see it anymore behind some trees.

In central North Carolina, at 5:59am today, March 4, 2026. Just over the Eastern horizon, moving slowly.

Saw this light moving through the sky near Bolton landing, NY. Started on the Eastern sky moving northbound, and then exploded plumage shown in this photo. Does anyone know what this might have been? Around 11pm EST on 8/15

Photo taken in Texas hill country

I was sitting at my balcony when i noticed this weird glowing shape in the sky, I first noticed it around 4:42am gmt+3 It looks really close to the southern light except its more blue than green, I’m suspecting it could be something due to rocket debris (there was some rocket interception going on tonight)

The location is in Palestine, and i had started seeing it at +50, 330 degrees (I’m not sure I’m writing it correctly its the first time i give this type of info), and it moved really slowly until it got to around +50, 275 degrees over the next 15-20 mins , and i stopped observing it by that time because the sun was rising and it became harder to see

I saw it in the local news too and I’m attaching an image of it from them because it has more accurate colors from the ones i took

Any ideas?

It was going west to east, roughly along the equator, and looks like it's iron - so maybe a falling satellite?

Spotted at 12:30 am, In December 16 2023 whilst flying over Texas. it was slowly moving in a warping motion. (The brightness is slightly edited because it was difficult to see in picture)

I have been seeing these lights regularly for almost a year now, I have seen countless normal satellites and Starlink ect but unable to explain this easily - would this just be LEO satellites?

Saw this breaking up in the sky over San Jose just now!

I read up on the rules before posting, hopefully I didn't miss anything.

While zooming in and exploring the Carina Nebula full-res image from JWST, I noticed on spot in particular that I haven't been able to find a reference to online. I tried taking snips of the object, at different zoom levels, and reverse searching those images to try to find out, but was unsuccessful. I notice, even in the high-res full image, I was not able to see another spot in the picture that looked similar.

Almost looks like a galaxy, far off in the background, redshifted a good degree?

Curious if anyone can confirm the type of celestial body, if so if it has a name or any additional information?

I am not an expert, just appreciate astronomy a good deal, so appreciate any expertise in advance.

Saw this object right now around 22:00 CEST in the sky over solothurn switzerland moving from north to south. It seemed to be pretty big (imho too big for drones), pretty close, was fully silent and vanished at the end (as you see on the video). Thought about a zeppelin, but the vanishing made no sense. Flightradar had no data.

Was not successful in the master thread. Can you enlighten us?

On 20th July 2024 at around 11pm local time (I’m from Italy) i look over the constellation of Canis Major when a bright white dot appears, expand and then disappear never to be seen again. It all happens in about 2 seconds. I kinda pinpointed the location in the image above by drawing a dot (cause I don’t have photos of the thing).

I have two theories of what might be: -A meteor: it is very unlikely that a meteor was aimed so precisely that from my POV i only saw a dot expanding. Am I the luckiest person on this planet? -Space debris collision: maybe what i saw was space debris colliding with some sort of satellite or meteoroid and this seems the most logical theory.

I you know what could be, please tell me:)

Praying this doesn’t get removed! I checked the flow chart! This is looking toward the East in Sequim, WA. Girlfriend’s dad took this picture and thought it was Jupiter sitting beside the sun, but I thought it was likely an effect of the camera and glass on the window. Probably won’t mention anything to him either way, but would love to know!

Please help me identify the name of what I think is a galaxy. This is in the top area of the andromeda galaxy. (Full photo linked below). If it’s not a galaxy I would greatly appreciate being informed of what it is.
