Starlink satellites of the American satellite company SpaceX were seen moving in a bright array in the sky over many cities in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region, especially in Adıyaman. This unusual sight created curiosity and astonishment among the local people.
The light arrays clearly observed in the center and districts of Adıyaman illuminated the sky for a moment. These bright objects advancing in a row drew the attention of citizens and were recorded with mobile phones. In the images, it is clearly seen that many bright points are moving in a regular formation.
The source of these intriguing light arrays is the Starlink satellites, a space-based internet system that Elon Musk founded SpaceX has been working on for a long time. The Starlink project aims to provide fast and reliable internet access to areas of the world with insufficient internet infrastructure. In line with this goal, SpaceX plans to establish a massive network of 12 satellites in orbit around the world, and the project is aimed to be completed in 2027.
The sighting of Starlink satellites in these regions is considered an important indicator of the progress of the project. The reason for the satellites to move at certain intervals and in a regular row is explained as their position in orbit and the need to transmit internet signals without interruption. The fact that the residents of the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region witnessed this unusual celestial event can also be interpreted as a sign that space technologies are increasingly integrated into our daily lives.
