    Thanks Mick. Worth adding what is and isn't in that release, because it changes what anyone can do with it. The 107,875-row file is the VASCO 2025 sample. The detection output behind Solano et al. (2022). It carries RA, Dec and observation date...

    The background noise in an image is the "grain" or "static", the random pattern of variations in brightness you can see here (contrast set to 5 in Sitrec) I was looking for repeating patterns in the clouds when one of my bots noticed there...

    Id be very interested to see what satellites look like in thermal. To me the most interesting is the third video because its similar to the first one i posted. The second and fourth video I only posted as reference of what migrating birds look...

    Yes! Many different types in fact. And Russia was almost certainly doing that here. ICEYE-x36 is itself a spy satellite. "Earth observation" is a general term for ground photography, but ICEYE isn't updating Google maps or doing river surveys...

    I think they are birds/bats. Not satellites (obviously). The erratic motion in the first matches bats as they hunt bugs etc and are very maneuverable. The ones in the second/third, going in a row: geese.

    It's a requirement of the Korean Government. Probably not a particularly effective one, as it's trivially easy to find the coordinates. https://www.korea.kr/news/policyNewsView.do?newsId=148960107 (좌표표시 제한) 구글 맵스, 구글 어스의 글로벌 서비스에서 대한민국 영토에 대한...

    It's probably not too wild an idea to assume the Russian sat carries a sensor suite onboard to track other objects nearby and autonomously derive navigational information for close-proximity ops, which would kind of render the entire argument...

    On Sunday I went to see the beloved Carolina Panthers get their lunch money stolen, sand kicked in their faces and their collective girlfriends lured away by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is not a rare thing, sadly, though it was extremely...

    I was standing. If we say the horizon is 0 degrees then i was pointing at the sky at an 65-80 degree angle. The FOV is so small that if i took one step id loose track of anything im recording (which happens quite a lot)
