Questions about shooting stars/comets


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I was out last night looking at the stars. It was a dark night, I would say bortle class 4. I noticed a lot of what looked like shooting stars moving relatively slow compared to what I usually see (fast ones that burn out). Are they actually shooting stars/comets? It was weird i saw about 5 at one point, all the same brightness and size moving in the same direction like in a row following each other. They could be planes? But it seemed too far up and there was no flashing light, where I was I wouldn't expect many planes. Can anyone help me out? I've done a quick bit of research and could not find anything.

Thanks

Thank you both so much! I have an app that tracks planets, nebulas & satellites but I didnt realize it only focuses on certain satellites. Which really threw me off. I had no idea there were so many up there. I'm going to check the website out right now!
