The red arrow indicates the meteoroid's path from south to north, which appears as a faint line. The bright light track on the left is the [[Moon]].]]

Since the time of [[w:Sputnik 1|Sputnik]] (October 4, 1957), it has been familiar that a satellite in a low orbit revolves about the Earth in about 90 minutes.

It came to within nearly 500&nbsp;000 miles (800&nbsp;000 km) of the Earth which is less than double the distance that separates the Earth from the moon. On October 30th 1937 Hermes, which was of the 8th magnitude, sped path the Earth at an angular pace in the sky of 5° per hour, so fast that its distance could not be deduced by using the usual mathematical methods. Instead it had to be calculated from its parallax as seen from two different observatories. It was ‘[[w:lost minor planet|lost]]’ in 1937.}}
