Iridium flares in real-time

@sundogplanets Yes, and Starlink is a massive pollutant - bith in terms if RF ?-Spectrum and Light!

  • I live in a city of 100k in the most populous state if Germany with horrible light pollution but even in my extremely well lit area I can see all the Starlink junk brighter than almost all Iridium Flares in the night sky!!!

Tho there's technically a constellation consisting of almost half a billion metal needles tho aside from some frozen gel lumps most of them are presumed to have reentered.

@TimBondy So basically it's like #IridiumFlares but with distracting frequency...

Because #Iridium did choose to have their replacements not #FlareWell...

#funFact: Most "#ShootingStars" in the late 90s and up until 2020 were actually #IridiumFlare|s...

#flarewell is one of the most bittersweet #hashtags there is.
Now I’m extra salty I did not see the notification about the -6.5 magnitude #Iridium #flare until an hour after it flew by last month.
