Fact is I [i]can[/i] derive the orbit using just that data whereas you [i]can't[/i]. I don't know if I'll ever discover anything huge, but that's not the point. I am a skilled amateur astronomer nonetheless and I do make the occasional interesting observation. [/quote] Show us, I think you provided insufficient info. [/quote] Fine, using astrometry I was able to derive the following coordinate sets from each image for each of the following timepoints previously listed: 7:12:15.769 20h 27m 14s 32 degrees 17' 57" 7:12:45.632 20h 27m 53s 32 degrees 00' 01" 7:13:45.359 20h 29m 09s 31 degrees 23' 17" 7:14:15.322 20h 29m 48s 31 degrees 04' 34" 7:15:40.707 20h 31m 39s 30 degrees 09' 24" 7:16:14.908 20h 32m 24s 29 degrees 46' 34" 7:26:08.535 20h 46m 08s 21 degrees 55' 38" 7:26:38.432 20h 46m 52s 21 degrees 27' 21" 7:31:16.043 20h 53m 59s 16 degrees 35' 32" 7:34:19.693 20h 59m 01s 12 degrees 49' 19" An initial orbital determination was made using the first, last, and a middle astrometric determination (the 7:26:08.535 observation), then refined with the other 7 measurements to determine the following orbital elements relative to earth (indeed, it was an earth-orbiting satellite in an eccentric orbit). Epoch (UTC): 00:26:8.535 November 20, 2010 Inclination: 61.8682 degrees RA of Ascending Node: 155.9298 degrees Eccentricity: 0.7341638 Argument of perigee: 268.3763 Mean Anomaly: 333.3678 It was a satellite known as Molniya 1-88. As astronomers have known for over two hundred years, all that is needed to make an initial orbital determination is three astrometric observations of the object's position, the time of those observations, and the observer's position. Carl Friedrich Gauss developed the initial method allowing for determination with just that amount of information in 1801. [/quote] congratulations dipshit, you calculated the orbit of something that orbits the Earth everyday. In the amount of time it took you to answer me you could have plagerised by looking at sites as this http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=23420 and slightly changing your numbers because you're so damn smart. [/quote] Dude its time for you to shut your face. Just admit that Astro is a skilled astronomer and you have not a single clue on how to do any of this. He is literally schooling the shit out of you. Just walk away, you have seriously lost... [/quote] yep and I could log in to my account and get you to believe a bunch of bullshit too. He calculated the orbit of a sattelite, seirously? you know how many sites have real time tracking of sats? I bet you believe you'll get a great ass job from O'bama too huh? [/quote] already admitted I didn't know shit too man. Astro knows that I admitted it. I'm just not giving him credit for shit cause he calculated the orbit of a sattelite. How is that skilled? [/quote]

CONDITION CODE 8 BY JPL MEANS:
A collision is certain, capable of causing localized destruction for an impact over land or possibly a tsunami if close offshore. Such events occur on average between once per 50 years and once per several 1000 years.
