A spectacular display of brilliant lights and fireballs lit up the night sky across Arkansas on Saturday, leaving many wondering what caused it. The phenomenon has been identified as a reentering Chinese satellite, according to NASA.
The SuperView-1 02 satellite, launched in 2016, broke apart and burned to pieces as it entered Earth’s atmosphere, producing the stunning display seen by many in Arkansas and surrounding states, including Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. This rare event highlights the potential risks of space debris reentering our atmosphere.
