It’s a symbolic gesture. If you’re trying to figure out exactly where Voyager is, you’re missing the point. If you’re mad about NASA leading this activity, launch your own space vehicles.
I dont quite get this. Which part of earth is voyager gonna be above at that point? Im guessing its north america cause yall are the self proclaimed main characters no? Also it would be much cooler if they took pictures of earth from space and instead of randomly flashing lights they had some kind of synchronized timer so maybe you could even see the morse code from space. Whelp, hope someone clears this up for me.
It’ll actually be above Europe, Asia, and Africa when it crosses the light day milestone. Specifically it’ll be almost directly above Somalia, around 10:16 UTC. What’s with the random dig at north america here?
Unfortunately even from low earth orbit it would be impossible to see individual flashlights from space
Okay but if theres a post about something the nasa, a united states federal agency is doing and they refuse to elaborate about where its gonna happen its pretty reasonable to assume its the us and north america. If the us health aganecy or weather agency posts about something is it really assuming if they dont state specifcally where it is?And are you trying to deny the us having main character syndrome?
Also, you can see cities from space, and i heard that you can legit see a million candella light pointed at the iss from the iss so a bunch of people going outside and pointing their flashlights into space seems reasonably detectable of course i have no idea about the magnitudes here.
