The photo above showing two iridium flares was captured above Aachen, Germany (51°N, 6°E) on September 29, 2005.

The dual flares shown above were less than one degree apart (approximately 40 seconds). At the time the picture was taken, Iridium satellite #8 (right) and satellite #51 were both positioned over the North Sea, some 2,600 km away (about 1,610 miles), nonetheless, the geometry of their orbital position with the Sun was just right to produce these parallel flares.

Location = 1600 miles north of Aachen, Germany (51°N, 6°E).
Separation = 40 seconds.
