In an ecosphere of bad or absent information, the best way to analyze the absence of evidence is to notice the messaging of those who operate as if there is certainty.

@BobSmitharwx @therealunknwn @memeticsisyphus Yes it does. It's called optics. You should learn about it sometime

@therealunknwn @memeticsisyphus Mathematically, it's the same thing as taking a picture of a baseball from 50 miles away, if it were travelling at 1,000 mph

@TheRickPatton @therealunknwn @memeticsisyphus Yet they have no problem showing us pictures of things lightyears away 😂

@reddit_lies Like many other statistics, black people far exceed the average population's rate

It's always amazing how confident people are making things up on the internet.

@Robin_Horam @therealunknwn @memeticsisyphus The sun moves at 15 arcseconds per second
Satellites in LEO move at about 220 arcseconds per second.
The sun has an angular size of 1800 arcseconds.
A Starlink satellite has an angular size of 0.8 arcseconds.
And obviously the luminosity differences

@TheRickPatton @therealunknwn @memeticsisyphus I took a picture of the sun. It's moving at 66,000 mph. Crazy
English
@drkeithsiau Ah yes, the problem here was that she didn't round the corners before he swallowed the blister pack
English
But on a more serious note, this is not an isolated event. These can be missed on X-ray and carry an appreciable complication rate. Also, spread the word to avoid cutting up blister packs as they can be razor sharp.

One example why a medication has been taken but doesn’t work. What other examples are there?

He walked 110 miles with a sprained ankle.
I'm convinced this pilot is as real as Harvey the Rabbit.

@Charlie40074981 @memeticsisyphus It's still apples and oranges. The really beautiful astrophotography you see and are referring to here aren't live streamed, you know.
English
@TheRickPatton @memeticsisyphus Problems are there to be solved.
Livestreams are important especially in the age of AI.

“Why are there no pictures”
Here’s a dozen or so
“Why are they grainy”
Because it’s a small fast moving object a hundreds of miles away.
“Ok but why don’t you show me a picture of THIS one?!”
It’s endless with these guys lol

@TheRickPatton @LigerzeroTTV @memeticsisyphus Tens of thousands meant to be out there and you can only send me a starlink LOL
English
@therealunknwn @GulagInmate5790 @LigerzeroTTV @memeticsisyphus You've been shown an image of the shuttle & Hubble like a dozen times now
English
@GulagInmate5790 @LigerzeroTTV @memeticsisyphus @TheRickPatton People have sent me a clear photo of Starlinks but unable to send me any photo of NASA or any other agencies sats, coz tell me they’re too small
Tens of thousands out there, but only Starlink able to be visible
English
@Charlie40074981 @memeticsisyphus I'd even argue that the nighttime Earth shot is one of the most impressive images in all of the space age.
English
@Charlie40074981 @memeticsisyphus The images we're getting now are from the webcam type camera, because bandwidth on the DSN is extremely limited. We'll get the high quality stuff later in the mission.

Andrew McCarthy@AJamesMcCarthy
Many seem to expect the livestream to have stunning high quality moon photos- those are coming. Keep in mind, bandwidth at the distance to the moon is a highly limited resource, they don't have the ability to quickly upload high resolution images while also streaming everything they're seeing. For now, you'll see a stream coming from the exterior GoPrso, then the crew will share photos captured from their cameras with better lenses etc from inside the cabin. Amazing photos are on their way!
English
@Charlie40074981 @memeticsisyphus Then I guess I need you to define "better"
English
@TheRickPatton @memeticsisyphus Not of a star but “the stars”.
English
@therealunknwn @LigerzeroTTV @memeticsisyphus What, even, is the claim you're hoping to "gotcha" everyone on with all these constantly evolving requests? That there aren't any satellites up there? That there are some, but not 10,000? I'd love to hear what path you're trying to go down here.
English
@LigerzeroTTV @memeticsisyphus @TheRickPatton You haven’t been reading my conversations. These are Starlinks. Now send another out of the tens of thousands meant to be out there
one of NASA’s or any of the agencies.

@therealunknwn @cigarsandlegs @memeticsisyphus (correction: 0.4meter aperture)
Still difficult, and we're assuming perfect conditions for simplicity, which you'll never have. Every real world variable makes it more difficult
English
@therealunknwn @cigarsandlegs @memeticsisyphus Yes, physics is cope. You nailed it.
Btw, going back to the example, you'd need about a 2cm aperture. Now multiply that by 20 (to get to 400 miles), and we're talking a 4 meter aperture.
That's why you can't image the small stuff from the ground, and can barely image Starlinks
English
@Charlie40074981 @memeticsisyphus Yeah, but it's not really an image of the star.
English
@TheRickPatton @memeticsisyphus I know about diffraction limit. Not being able to perfectly resolve a star does not prevent a good looking image being captured…
English
@therealunknwn @cigarsandlegs @memeticsisyphus And those grainy images are only achieved by taking lots and lots of pictures over a pass, and combining them together in post-processing.
Because the ISS is so large (roughly a football field, rather than a table), you can get a fairly detailed image in a single exposure.
English
@therealunknwn @cigarsandlegs @memeticsisyphus That's why those images you've been shown (and don't seem to be satisfied by) are so blurry and grainy. Because you just can't beat physics.
That's why some of the better imagery comes from other satellites taking pictures of them (because they can get a lot closer)
