That’s fair, but I’d still argue it’s not a fast blur on a telescope. They had 11 days to collect data so I’d have to be very charitable to call that “fast” at

That’s fair, but I’d still argue it’s not a fast blur on a telescope. They had 11 days to collect data so I’d have to be very charitable to call that “fast” at least in the context of comparing it to aircraft sensors.
- stametseater 4y agoThey saw it moving fast relative to our system, and all they were able to make out was a faint dot. I think comparing it to a "fast blur" on an aircraft sensor is actually too charitable, because those aircraft sensors actually got better looks at their objects.
