"They launch a whole train of satellites and you're actually seeing individual, little satellites, but they're all in this row, and that's why it looks like this bright line in our sky," Renae Kerrigan, curator and science and planetarium director at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, told WEEK-TV. Kerrigan said the lights will likely be visible again Tuesday night.
