Not now but last Tuesday on 12-AUG-25 we saw the Arianne 6 booster in polar orbit performing a propellant vent preparing for it's deorbit burn. Here in Arkansas local time it started the vent at 21:33ish. The thing looked like a regular satellite and then it flashed and quickly took on an hour glass appearance. Diffuse at the ends and a bright spot in the middle and was orange tinted. When it went behind the tree line it was as wide as three thumb widths on an outstretched hand.
Wow! That's Yuge. All I saw in the sky was a moon so full last weekend that it was casting shadows on the ground where we stood. When my friend and I stood there and saw our shadows, I asked him if that meant we were going to have 6 more weeks of summer.
It makes sense that if a rodent can predict a long winter, maybe we could predict a long summer. BTW, it's 88 degrees but feels like 90 right now.
