Rutlanders will be able to spot Elon Musk's Starlink satellite train tonight (Mon).

The satellites have been spotted all over Western Europe, with many saying they looked like 'Santa's sleigh'.

Starlink is the informal name for Elon Musk's space project, Space Project X.

The aim of the project is to launch lots of low-orbit satellites to create a hyper-speed internet connection.

You should be able to spot the Starlink tonight - when visibility should be 'good' - at around 9.58pm.

You can view the exact timings on other days here.

Send us your photos and videos if you manage to capture it!
