Hi, I've previously noted something like this in emails to seesat, but it was rather more clearcut than your images Reiner. On several occasions when scanning...
Reiner, Nice image! J75-La Sagra has coordinates : Lat 37 58 57 N Long 2 33 55 W Alt 1500m The satellite is the Cosmos 1660 Rocket (15822 1985-047-B) Distance:...
Hello. The last post reminded me of a picture I had taken 10 years ago. At first I thought it was a flaw in the negative but this was not the case when it...
Reiner, I concur with Stefano about it being atmospheric turbulence. For one, the modulation of the trail appears not to be regular / periodic - Is it not? ...
Has anyone seen anything on a possible impact with Jupiter last night near the South Pole? I have seen a report of an image out of Canberra, Australia but have...

Dear MPML, We observed Jupiter with the Keck telescope and its NIR camera and we confirm that the feature is unusual because of its brightness in the CH4...
Thanks for the credit but just for the record the first image of the Jupiter impact event was captured by Anthony Wesley on 19th July 2009 at 1554UTC from...
I suppose this now moves the discussion to what it was that impacted. Judging by the fact that there are certainly very likely secondary spots clearly visible...

The similarities of this footprint compared to any of the larger impact regions of SL9, scream of cometary impact. What else do we have to go on? I would...

IMHO, there is a broader question that this raises. And that is - how often do such events occur? It is clear that such events are not daily or weekly events -...
