However in the spring and fall when the seasons are changing and the atmosphere is mixing there can be wild flickering and changing colors. When stars and planets are near the horizon all kinds of crazy things happen, that’s where Jupiter is right now, low in the west following the sun. Cold fronts can cause the planets to flicker too. Also, using a low resolution phone camera zoomed in causes trouble because the pixels don’t have enough data to display the right colors so they are somewhat exaggerated from what you see. Cameras can do the opposite and not show the flickering. Cameras can be difficult. For example: This is the spinning cube UFO; it’s zoomed in on a distant orange object which is made up of only four pixels in the camera image. All four pixels are trying to get the color correct for a four pixel box. The rendering says it’s an orange circle, the computer displays that by making one pixel red two yellow and one white or black. The pixels blink at the cycle rate of the camera, frames per second which looks like a blinking or spinning cube as the pixels get interpreted by the camera software. Low resolution photos and videos are useless. Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.

The satellite is still in the Sun, bouncing the bright Sunlight to you. Colors shift due to the changing refraction through the atmosphere at different angles. It’s not moving fast enough to be orbiting earth, unless it’s in GEO. If it were that bright in GEO it would have to be huge. Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.

Of course it was a star. The fact that it was low in the sky is why it “twinkles”, or “flashes” different colours. Because of the way it’s light has to travel through more of earth’s atmosphere… all very well known and understood by most people with a high school education.. |
