Globalstar 56 culminated ten minutes later, was nowhere near alpha Persei, and had shadow entry about 20:02:10 in Cetus near Eridanus. But Globalstar 59 DID enter shadow near this star, about 19:48:30. If solar cells were pointed near the Sun, they would not flare there, same argument for Glonass (but they could be out-of-order, or follow schemes like Iridiums do). The three debris objects in the vicinity could flash/flare, but were up to a minute early. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James" <james.mindham@btinternet.com> > > > 02 Jan 2002 19:48 UTC > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bjorn Gimle" <b.gimle@chello.se> > > > I can not find any shadow entry by Globalstar 56 near alpha Per (which > > SkyMap points to when I locate Mirfak) from Dec.30 until now! > > > > > > > I was watching the sky around Perseus when I'm sure I noticed a .2 mag > > flare > > > near Mirfak.
