According to the North American Aerospace Command (NORAD), North Korea's newest satellite passed almost right over Levi's stadium, California, right after the Super Bowl match between the Panthers & Broncos, on Monday @ 8.26pm.
NORAD says that Pyongyang’s motives are unknown but it now has 2 Kwangmyongsong (Shining Star) satellites circling the Earth which have a 94-minute orbit.
North Korea claims their successful satellite launch on Sunday was its fourth. The first 2 launches haven’t been confirmed by anyone else. The satellites are described as Earth observation satellites and weigh 100kg each.
Coincidentally, both Twitter and Facebook reported that there was a significant reduction (33% for Twitter & 25% for Facebook) in the amount of posts about the Super Bowl compared to last year. Most however, doubt that North Korea had anything to do with it.
