I wonder is there a way to "make it scale" in the sense where the planet stays the same size but the satellites become like a pixel... so you can more accurately see how far apart things are... seems like "omg Kessler syndrome" whenever I see these things.
Man this thing is nuts the zoom is neat
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI don't follow the space industry as closely as I used to so I don't know how true this is, but some folks have accused Leolabs of being a bit alarmist with their conjunction alerts. They have sent out alerts for collisions that the DoD said had essentially 0 chance of happening (and they didn't). If you were cynical, you might say that those sorts of false alarms are a marketing/PR stunt. If that's the case, it's in their best interest to not offer to-scale visualizations, making LEO look as crowded as possible.
