Re: Satellite Eclipse

For those that are new to the board. The satellites will be entering an eclipse with the Sun, from about 04Z to 0615Z.
That's 12am to 215am EDT. The image may appear to be updating, but if you check the timestamps on the pics you will see that most stop at 0345Z or 0400Z. Depending on your source. The loops will look as Ivan is stationary, when in fact he's not. The sats should be back up between 0230-0300edt. As it takes several minutes for the imagers to power back up.
