Twin Iridium Flares

4/29/2017

 
Sky doesn't always disappoint. Sometimes it does just the opposite. Amid near zero possibility, sky became clear and we got to see the TWIN IRIDIUM FLARE. Two simultaneous flares at the same time, same location from two different satellites of the same orbit is too rare a event. Rather only one of its kind.
More importantly, both the sats are now near uncontrolled ones as reported. Both of them gave their respective flares almost 10 sec ahead of the time, mathematically calculated based upon their official TLE.
