Above the islands of Hawaii on January 28, a green laser was seen piercing the night sky, silently tracing a path towards the horizon like a stutter in the Matrix's code.

The scene was caught on camera from a telescope atop Hawaii's tallest peak.

the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), which co-owns the camera, announced on Twitter that the green light probably came from a radar device on an orbiting satellite, known as ICESat-2....sciencealert.com (A run threw?)

Actually it was the Milky Way on Saturday night 8-12-23, that a local photographer took.

Eyes can be deceiving.
