I've heard people say they can someone see satellites in the night sky with only their eyes, if true, why have I never seen a satellite pass in front of the moon?

You can see satellites right after dusk, when the sunlight still illuminates them but not your part of the earth.

The moon is much brighter than the satalites are when reflecting sunlight. The moon lightwashes the satalites which are rather dim.

This is probably one of those "think of it for 5 minutes before you ask" questions.

Ok, I thought, still asking, do you have an answer?

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 1.9 yearsMay 19, 2022 01:31:57 ago (+0/-0)

OK, seriously, is this like some kind of Flat Earther thing? Or are you being serious? Because the serious people can generally figure it out.

If this is a Flat Earther thing, then "Space is fake and gay".

It's a person who has seen his government lie about pretty much everything and finding the deeper I dig the deeper the shit gets. I don't have any idea how deep the shit is because I've yet to reach the bottom. I'm just looking for solid explanations that don't consist of, because Nasa and the electric jew told me so.

OK, like I told you. Space is fake and gay. Now, go over there and leave us alone.

Have you seen them pass in front of the moon?

i have seen it moving on their own and flying in front of the ISS

with both the naked eye and with binoculars

you can see a blue dot in the sky moving slowly

Thanks. I looked into it and it only brought up even more questions. I started another thread and would love to hear your thoughts, https://www.talk.lol/viewpost?postid=6285d6d8ae282

Yeah, the brightness of the Moon might have something to do with that. Want a real mind fuck? Look up lunar transient phenomenon.

FUCKING LUNAR TRANNIES!

The moon is fake and gay.

Due to the high gravitation of the earth, and the weak gravitation of the moon, there is a gravitational pool between the earth and moon. This causes the satellites to "warp" their trajectory in that location and therefore cannot be seen directly in front of the moon. Unless you are on a spaceship, then you will see the satellite wobble and warp past the moon. At least, that is what a homeless guy told me once. He also said Elvis was still alive. I believe him.

Have you seen the ISS pass in front of the moon with your eyes or even binoculars or a telescope?

Clouds are cgi

OMG Right? As if anything could float up in the air like that! People are so dumb.

And they just happen to look EXACTLY THE SAME as in paintings and shit. I don't believe in coincidences.

I have seen a very high altitude object with a flasher on a clear night. It was far far above the 35k planes. I assume it was the ISS.

Have you ever seen a really high, high object with a flasher pass in front of the moon?

[ - ] CPU 0 points 1.9 yearsMay 19, 2022 02:26:43 ago (+0/-0)

Not with my own eye, but I have watched videos of others recording the ISS in front of the Moon and Sun.

Due to space COLREGS, satellites may only pass *behind* the moon, otherwise they may face stiff penalties from the space police.
