We've all seen satellites disappear into the Earth's shadow. This paper,
https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.08310, describes a model that combines celestial
geometry with atmospheric physics to calculate the amount of dimming.
Observations from the MMT-9 robotic observatory are consistent with the
model predictions.

Best regards,
