I wouldn’t be so sure. There’s quite a lot of idiosyncrasies in the text, and those match the text in the image behind the ufo post linked at the end of this one. Using a LLM for a schizopost implies lazines, and would a lazy person edit together a screenshot in paint like that, not to mention spam the same text into so many communities and then respond to comments as much as they have?

We may be looking at the real deal here. If not, then they’re very committed to the bit.

Instead of spamming this same text everywhere, you should get a formal education in physics and/or engineering and then get back to this idea of yours to see if it’s any good. Right now it just appears like schizophrenic rambling.

I hope that when this happens, ASAT-missiles are common enough that I’ll be able to get one.

Yeah, the best case scenario assuming that the world got its act together tomorrow…

Not an arcus, but what looks to be a series of Stratocumulus volutus. Nice find nonetheless!

Arcus is a supplementary feature attached to a strong convective cloud (Cumulonimbus or possibly a strong Cumulus). This isn’t the case here.

A per capita map would also be nice.

Well, those are in higher orbits where there’s a lot more space. LEO is the biggest problem because it’s got the majority of all satellites and debris and it’s relatively small. GEO is also pretty crowded, but almost all the satellites there are flying in neat synchronization, because, well, Geostationary orbits.

Edit:

Maximum debris concentrations can be noted at altitudes of 800-1000 km, and near 1400 km. Spatial densities in GEO and near the orbits of navigation satellite constellations are smaller by two to three orders of magnitude.

Plenty of current and future Earth observation satellites are at risk as well.

Cruise missiles are usually shot down with interceptor missiles, which are a lot more expensive.

Close, but this is in fact the circumhorizontal arc. It’s very similar to the cza, but the refractions happen in the opposite order. The cha occurs below the sun when the sun is high, the cza occurs high above the sun (near the zenith) when the sun is low.

Nice pictures!

Pseudopupils

Yes, but was this the bullet that hit him (so picture taken after he was hit), or a previous shot that missed?

Spectacular crepuscular rays!

I did write “mostly” for a reason. Aluminium is used a lot in aerospace due to its low mass. There is a lot of matter falling from space naturally, but the composition is key to the effects that will have on the atmosphere. Satellites, spent stages etc. have different compositions to meteors.

Over 20 elements from reentry were detected and were present in ratios consistent with alloys used in spacecraft. The mass of lithium, aluminum, copper, and lead from the reentry of spacecraft was found to exceed the cosmic dust influx of those metals. About 10% of stratospheric sulfuric acid particles larger than 120 nm in diameter contain aluminum and other elements from spacecraft reentry. Planned increases in the number of low earth orbit satellites within the next few decades could cause up to half of stratospheric sulfuric acid particles to contain metals from reentry.

• An earlier study from last October that this new one bulds on

When old satellites fall into Earth’s atmosphere and burn up, they leave behind tiny particles of aluminum oxide, which eat away at Earth’s protective ozone layer. A new study finds that these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022 and will continue to accumulate as the number of low-Earth-orbit satellites skyrockets.

Those micrometeors aren’t mostly aluminium.

The plant works just as intended and has already captured a lot of that sweet sweet greentech R&D money and subsidies.

Yeah, not exactly news.

I suppose it’s a good yearly reminder.

Did you know that 40% of all helldivers…

Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.

Plenty of people drive short distances that could already be travelled by bike or walked. That doesn’t require any new solutions. Reminding those people of how wasteful it is to commute by car is a good way to approach that problem imo.
