On January 18th, the residents of Russia's Amur region could observe the fall of the second stage of the rocket Falcon 9.
Such view came to the head of the Observatory "Ka-Dar" Stanislav Short, together with the employee of a private space company "Dauria aerospace" Vitaly Yegorov is widely known popularizer of Astronautics.
Numerous witnesses of the event reported that at about 07:50 local time (00:50 GMT) the space object brightly illuminated the morning sky and exploded into pieces. In a few minutes came the sound of an explosion, however its power was small. Traces of the falling object remained in the sky for about two hours.
The conclusion that this is the second stage of the rocket Falcon 9 was based on the analysis of the acting space object when entering the dense layers of the atmosphere and the character of its destruction. In addition, the data were analyzed with the database space-track.org that contains information about the orbits of many satellites.
