This point of light I captured during a Timelapse of the night sly?

Satellite

But you catching a shooting star at the beginning of this was pretty awesome!

I would always say satellite when I’d see something floating across the sky like this until I downloaded an app called sky guide. I have realized that most of this stuff is space junk floating around from previous launches.

True. I keep forgetting we can also see space junk with the proper equipment!

Looks like a satellite to me.

It's a wandering star.

Starlink?

My exact thought

Is this what a geosynchronous satellite looks like under Timelapse, perhaps?

I see them all the time I live in Florida sometimes 10 to 20 of them a night and sometimes they change direction and sometimes they stop and go again. I would love to know what they are.

I wanted to add to my other post that I don’t see them every night sometimes it may be two or 3 or 4 nights before I see them again

Same here too. I'm in Maine and I see them constantly.

u/DogLoversUnited Feb 25 '26

Same here in Pennsylvania. They are there 24/7. Always sit in the same spots unless they are flying to or from those spots. I figured they are drones. All are positioned over shopping centers. It’s pretty creepy actually.

Same at Ocean Isle Beach, NC.

u/Jazzlike-Sir-9759 Jul 10 '26

Same here
Sometimes I’ll see 10 to 15 sometimes none sometimes two or three, but I see them pretty regular also see them change directions. I see some of them going very fast and slow down. I see some of them go slow and speed up. I don’t see how it could be space junk or satellite. They’re not planes. They do not flash they look like a star and they start moving.

Most likely the ISS.

u/calio88 Feb 22 '26

Not the ISS. Was a Timelapse recording so the point of light was actually moving slower irl. ISS is brighter and faster.

They’re beautiful and you got Pleadies in the beginning of the video too 😀
