Hungarian researcher spots object that may be Apollo 13 debris — Der Spiegel

A Hungarian sky researcher, while in his living room, discovered a faintly glowing object in space, Sar 2901. As Der Spiegel reports, its origin has not yet been established, and specialists are considering two possible versions.

The mini-moon version

According to one version, Sar 2901 may be a mini-moon of Earth. This explanation is one of the possibilities being discussed in specialist circles following the discovery of the faintly glowing object.

More current news is available on the UA.News Telegram channel Telegram.

Another version links the find to space debris — a possible fragment of NASA's legendary Apollo 13 mission. The publication presents this identification as an assumption rather than an established fact.

A faint point in the sky

The illustration accompanying the publication shows the starry sky over Greece. At the very edge of the observed area, there is a faint point of light. It is this barely noticeable object that has become the subject of discussion about its nature and possible origin.
