Sometimes you make beautiful scientifically accurate diagrams, and sometimes you just have a draw a shitty picture.

Is it a shitty picture if a rando layperson on the Mastodon can understand what its telling me & helps me understand how the sats issue works? - It is not.

@sundogplanets

Whoever can start with a pretty picture is lucky...

I enjoy sketching - solely because I am not an artist and I enjoy jotting down notes, images - as needed, to be able to formulate all the thoughts needed to move forward...

@sundogplanets Hopefully these drawn satellites are not to scale. 🤭

And even though it might not be polished, it is the best easy explanation I have seen of when these "things" are lit. Thanks.

@sundogplanets lol, for a second I misread 50N as "son".

@sundogplanets @lisamelton more shitty pictures please!

Seriously... Computer pictures are so overrated! They look nice, but this ⬆️ can only be your work!

@sundogplanets a year or two i happened to glance up and saw a whole "train" of satellites flash across the evening sky. pop-pop-pop-pop...

it was unsettling and i'd like to not see it again.

in other news it looks like we are on a vector right into the sun so that's cool.
