Image Details:

This was taken on the Smithville Lake Dam on the evening of the 4/27/20. I had taken many pictures that evening of Venus and the moon and I started noticing this straight string of what I thought was stars when I noticed they were getting closer, more numerous and were moving. I was baffled then I remembered that SpaceX had launched satellites recently. Didn't know they were launched in a line. I thought they were very visually impressive then I realized they were in line with the moon and Venus and proceeded directly through them.
