To avoid displaying thousands of labels in a wide view of the night sky, there's a "Display Range (km)" which, in theory, should not display/label satellites beyond that range. There's also a "show all Labels" flag, which should do what it says...

I think I may have the answer as to why ETS 6 doesn't show up in Sitrec. It's range is over 10,000 km as shown here in Stellarium But Sitrec cuts off at 10,000 [edit: Still not sure about missing labels in Sitrec and what those satellites...

For James Fox and the Research Team "James, your film presents the military capture as a proven fact, largely based on the 'whistleblower' testimonies collected by Vitório Pacaccini. Those testimonies already had several inconsistencies among...

Which I believe, was specifically made for the Chevy Vega, one of GM's early attempts at a "compact" car in the '70s. I only know that because a month or so back, I just happened to have watched a YouTube video on the history of....the Chevy...

Something is not entirely right with Sitrec here. If you export the TLEs from your Sitrec 23230U, (ETS 6) is completely missing. I got my TLEs directly from Space Track for the date (I just got them again to double-check) and use them in...

lol that happens to me too. my mom also always calls as soon as i settle into the bath. Ive tried switching up bath times. she has tried waiting an hour when she feels like calling me. and she always calls when im in the bath. (well 80% of the...

That's an interesting flip side to the "you never have seen your neighbors bringing in groceries" silliness: which I guess relies on the fact that most people park in their garage or close as possible to a door when bringing in a load of...

This satellite is ETS 6, a now-defunct JAXA satellite that failed to reach GEO orbit but went on to have some success as a science satellite. It is a well-known flasher dating back to 2001 and maybe eariler. Here's the TLE for you

This is known as the frequency illusion: The illusion in which a word, a name or other thing that has recently come to one's attention suddenly seems to appear with improbable frequency shortly afterwards (see also recency illusion).[37]...

imo, all those poor people who are paranoid and think they are being followed and their lightbulbs are bugged or the tv is talking to them... get to that point because of synchronicity events. (obviously some have hallucination issues.. that's a...

Yesterday, Monday, January 19th was the Martin Luther King federal holiday in the US. A buddy and I were in an email exchange complaining about the weather. He said he'd spare me his "black ice" story. On MLK day, Monday Jan, 19, 2009 my wife and...

On the topic of coincidence, I wish I could recall where I read words to the effect that a pattern of frost on a window might happen to look a bit like "Jim," which will not be particularly interesting to people named Zedekiah who might not even...

I think for it to be a synchronicity rather than just a coincidence it has to be personally meaningful, and by that I think we have to assume that it feels good in some way, not just eerie. Here's one that happened to me: Reading through old...
