A simple coincidence or just a chance situation - or is this a deliberate placement?

Four Russian military satellites were launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) last month (Kosmos-2610, Kosmos-2611, Kosmos-2612, and Kosmos-2613).

Between May 14 and 20, the Russian satellites began maneuvering and altered their orbits and moved toward ICEYE-X36, a Finnish radar satellite that has been supplying data to Ukraine’s military since 2022.

The Russian spacecraft ended up in the same orbit as ICEYE-X36, at an altitude of 550 kilometers and approx. 13 kilometers away from the Finnish craft. Suggestion is the Russian craft may be "inspector satellites". https://meduza.io/en/cards/four-russian-military-satellites-came-within-13-kilometers-of-a-radar-satellite-operated-by-a-finnish-company-that-supplies-ukraine-with-battlefield-imagery-legitimate-targets-moscow-said-in-2022 #Space #Russia #Finland #Satellites #InspectorSatellites #RadarSatelliteImagery #Radar #Imagery #LEO #ICEYE #Ukraine

squinted sun peeks

squinted sun peeks
over the edge

bright eye opened

eye from the far east
oriental

eye of one pot stoned

eye the colour of fire

white surf stretches
from the corners of the eye

it squints at the house

white comes out of the walls
red comes out of the roof

squints at the barn

red comes out of the walls
green comes out of the roof

squints at the grass at the trees

green comes out of the grass blades
out of the leaves

squints at the parking lot

black comes blacker than the night
was out of the asphalt

the eye squints at you

your colours come blonde
out of your hair
caucasian out of your face
navy blue out of your jacket
denim blue out of your jeans

from the eye’s corners flames roll
like tears across the edge

this is how day wakes
how the sun begins to open

SN 38.11 Oghapañhā Sutta: A Question About Floods

There are these four floods, my friend: the flood of sensuality, the flood of becoming, the flood of views, & the flood of ignorance. These are the four floods.

Anyone have open-license coincident LiDAR+Imagery data they can share for usage with testing and development in OpenDroneMap?

Size of the dataset/area need not be large, nor any particulat resolution, bands, subject, etc. It just needs to be able to reconstruct, have geolocation metadata, and be unencumbered so we can use it for automated testsuites and manual testing.

You cannot hide from that hi-res eye in the sky!

Satellite imagery shows significant damage to 20 U.S. military sites across eight countries since start of war with Iran. Damages include at 3 state-of-the-art anti-ballistic missile batteries systems in the UAE and Jordan.

American officials have tried to downplay the scope of damages and have also attempted to get satellite imagery providers to implement an "indefinite" restriction on sharing new images of Iran and most of the Middle East. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2610871/iranian-attacks-damaged-20-us-military-sites-since-war-began-satellite-imagery-shows #Space #Imagery #IranWar #MiddleEast #USDoD #Military #Sateliites #SatelliteImagery #Iran #USA

collegienstrasse had changed

collegienstrasse had changed
rapidly from a dusk shaded
cobblestone garden from where
many youthful voices had climbed like vines
and the youthful laughter of many had bloomed

rapidly changed
to a street fallowed for the night where
the students who were
the seeds from where all those voices
and all that laughter had sprouted

the students had gone home
and the avenue had become
a bared road through a shadow

a shadow that
had at first lengthened
first darkened into schlossstrasse

then lengthened and darkened out
of the beggar square that all night
waited for bread and for brew

lengthened darkened
past the windows of linen and parchment
oiled and dim lit extinguished

past the shuttering of houses

past the university
and the students in the dormitories who’d
pulled the blankets to their chins

past this old monastery
and the professors who lived here then
and then wrote midnight lectures
here by candlelight

as the shadow lengthened
darkened into nightfall at the eastern wall

the one who’d drawn
the watch that night came
closed the eastbound road out
locked the elster gate and began
to walk his rounds

paracelsus arrived

paracelsus arrived
before the south gate
was unlocked

while he waited
to ask the watchman
if the pestilence had come
to wittenberg before he had

the east gate
was opened like an eye

and the morning’s early sun
that had risen from where it waited

its shining entered
the town like a tide
