Would it be possible to estimate/simulate the magnitude of the colliding satellites "if" they had been sunlit and observable at the time of impact? Some time in the future there will be a collision that will be observed, so was just wondering what such a collision would look like. Would the observer see just a quick flash/spark in the sky, or something more dramatic?
