The early morning hours brought a large number of satellites. Four
Iridium flares (sunlight glinting off the satellite solar panels)
were predicted, but many more other satellites were captured
in this time lapse video.
The bright object rising at the end of the video clip is Jupiter.
This video clip was cropped and shortened from a larger
full-frame all-night movie of the Milky Way rising
