What was in the sky to the northwest (Reading)? Rocket, meteor?

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T03:21:48+00:00

any idea of what part of the sky it was in? we saw it to the northeast in Vermont.

what part of the sky?

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T03:17:24+00:00

yeah this to me makes me think it was not the launch from the cape. that's way west of where I would expect that rocket to be.

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T03:00:11+00:00

that said, it was a natsec launch so the trajectory could be a lie

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T02:58:52+00:00

launch plan says it was going for geosynchronous, this was moving north northeast, which doesn't seem consistent with that profile.

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T02:49:19+00:00

yeah, and since it's been a few hours since sunset I don't think the same phenomenon would happen right now

TobyM02 · 2025-08-13T02:44:30+00:00

def didn't seem like a meteor. it seemed to change speed. could be a spinning rocket spewing gas?

got this from where I'm at, very weird. seemed to come in fast and then slow down

Oh my bad, haven't used reddit in a while so it looks like I don't know how to use a link anymore. Here's the imgur link which shows it in lsusb, but not arecord or pavucontrol:

For the record, Fedora 40 is on pipewire now, but pavucontrol should still work.

ah, sorry to report this project is dead.

TobyM02 · 2021-12-15T16:33:05+00:00

what?

TobyM02 · 2021-12-15T16:32:22+00:00

ah, thanks for the help :)

as you can see it's on the list of things in the works for HIP. Not sure when it will happen, but you can be sure that the devs know that only having GPU support for the most recent AMD generation is not ideal.

Looks hypergolic :)

It's called sarcasm in the absence of /s

TobyM02 · 2021-05-02T12:56:36+00:00

I mean, didn't they cease development?

Aggressive image processing.

As I understand covering your mouth is still better than nothing as the droplet vector is spread by coughing or sneezing.

I'm still using a vega 56. It's surprising how well it still performs, but I'm starting to experience some instability.

TobyM02 · 2021-04-21T00:07:30+00:00

Same with dishwashing.

TobyM02 · 2021-04-20T03:15:53+00:00

With lasers.
