The American space company SpaceX, the world-renowned private space company, has set another record with its 21st Starlink Satellite Launch. This time, the amazing sight of the Falcon 9 Rocket passing the full moon has created a new record and created a new record. This is not just a scientific event, but also shows how far space technology has come. The Falcon 9 Rocket placed dozens of Starlink V2 Mini satellites into Earth's orbit. The event received a lot of attention - the visual spectacle of that moment when many satellites passed behind the full moon at once!

1. Falcon 9 Process - What is happening step by step? (Step-by-step Process of Falcon 9 Launch) :

Liftoff - The time when Falcon 9 takes off, currently taking place at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

• Stage Separation – The first stage returns to Earth with a mirror-like elegance (Autonomous drone ship landing).
•  Second Stage Ignition – The second stage launches the satellites into high low Earth orbit (LEO).
• Deployment – ​​Starlink V2 Mini satellites are deployed individually on their own trajectory.

This method stands as a model for Reusable Rocket Technology.

2. Starlink V2 Mini – What’s New in Starlink V2 Mini?

The satellites that SpaceX is now sending have been completely updated:

1.  4x More Bandwidth: Ability to send four times more data than older satellites.
2. Laser Links: Direct communication between satellites – without the need for ground stations.
3.  New Argon Hall Thrusters: High maneuverability at low fuel costs with a modern propulsion system.
4.  Improved Coverage: Ability to fill even small signal holes.

All of this together makes for a powerful plan to further expand global internet access.

3. Moon-Crossing Scene – The Moment That Captured the World (Why It Went Viral?)

In April 2025, a rare sight was recorded in the sky from various countries – a satellite train passed in front of the full moon at the same time. It was like a space art show for the audience, with many satellites flying over the full moon at the same time/

• Perfect Timing: Launch window and moon phase were ideally matched.
• Astrophotographers delight: Many recorded this scene using long exposure photography.
• Viral Content: The video went viral on Reddit, X (Twitter), Instagram Reels, etc.]The sky was bright due to light reflection
• Some astrophotographers recorded this scene as a video
• It went viral on social media – “A train of satellites over the Moon!”

 This spectacle is a combination of both an engineering marvel and nature's beauty!
