Atherstone and district to see Elon Musk's satellite train tonight (cloud permitting)

STARLINK 'SANTA'S SLEIGH' SET TO BE VISIBLE JUST BEFORE 10 O'CLOCK NEWS BULLETINS

SATELLITE watchers in and around Atherstone have a six-minute window of opportunity to observe Elon Musk's Starlink train tonight.

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

Starlink is the informal name for Space Project X – which is one plank of the extra-terestial ambitions of the current longest-serving global motor manufacturing CEO.

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

You should be able to spot the Starlink tonight at around 9.58pm until 10.04pm if you look from west to east .
