(OP)Senior Forum Moderator  12/20/2020 09:58 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Will you film the Jupiter Saturn conjunction that is happening tonight? Looks like it will be cloudy in my area and I would like to see it. I hope it will not be cloudy in the sunshine State! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78537298 Supposed to be cloudy here tonight too, but I should be able to stream it tomorrow night. We'll see if I luck out tonight.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75412688  United States12/20/2020 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's a highlights video of the footage I was able to capture of NROL-108. The view of the stage separation and boost back burn was really clean. The landing was beautiful as well, with some well timed birds from the neighboring wildlife refuge flying by. Quoting: Astromut Awesome video as usual Dr. Astro! What technique do you use to re-center after lost lock in the clouds? Is it a linear method or something more complex? Which ever you use, it works really well. Excellent software! |

And yes, SpaceX has driven down the cost, single handedly brought commercial spaceflight dollars back into the US, is currently the only provider of manned orbital missions in the US, and the launches provided for NASA allow them to perform science beneficial to humans, including a couple of experiments launched by SpaceX to ISS that I am working on. You're welcome. |

If the heliocentric model of the universe is right, why do we never see the planets with shadows on a portion of their “bodies”? Like half or more...it never happens. This is proof that they are not illuminated by the sun but are instead their own light source. Flat earth for the win! Heliocentric model of the universe?  |
