“As a result of this low skill in our forecasts, #SpaceX saw 20 kilometers of position error in their one-day computations. If we’re uncertain in where our spacecraft are by 20 kilometers, then you can throw collision avoidance out the window.”

Coming next, when I get around to it: solar influences. I have several years of data from the period between the minimum to the maximum of the current solar cycle. Even at my moderately light-polluted site, I can see the influence of solar activity on night-sky brightness here. #SolarCycle #Cycle25 #Sun

THE SUN IS CELEBRATING ANOTHER EARTH ORBIT WITH A MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Satellites orbiting Earth have just detected a significant #X5-class #solarflare. It is the strongest flare of Solar #Cycle25 (so far) and the most powerful eruption the #sun has produced since the great storms of Sept. 2017. The underlying #sunspot is a giant, and it is turning toward Earth with more flares in the offing. https://spaceweather.com has the explosive details.
