Object Transit during Solar Eclipse - What is it?
Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2017 2:58 pm
I had seen an object Transit the Sun during the Eclipse. I initially thought it was the ISS. But when I went online to check the path of the ISS on Aug. 21, it was not over New Jersey (USA). I was not recording video to my laptop at the time. I saw it on my computer screen. My astronomy club was continuously capturing my desktop feed and broadcasting it on our YouTube channel. So I went back and checked through that video. Here are 3 screenshots.
I assume this is a satellite of some sort. I don't think that it is an airplane.
Any thoughts on what it might be?
There are a lot of satellites orbiting, so this may not be anything significant.
You can also look at 2:24:17 to 2:24:22 in the video feed (see link) to see the object Transit the Sun.
