Prof. Sam LawlerI really should not work on visualizations of the night sky with thousands of naked-eye visible stupid "AI data center" sun-synchronous satellites at the end of the day. This sucks.
Strider Uwe 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽@sundogplanets Impressive, and depressing. What are the parameters you are varying between the different graphs?
@UweHalfHand This has some wild assumptions about sizes (which we have very little info about) and only a little info on orbits. These are different latitudes, seasons, and times of night.
Bill Zaumen@sundogplanets @UweHalfHand Sun synchronous orbits have an inclination of over 90 degrees (which means they are in the opposite direction compared to the earth's rotation). While a number of altitudes can be used, for a data center with fast electronics, it might be necessary to stay below the Van Allen radiation belts to keep errors to a minimum.
