<egg|anbo|egg> resolution at which a 19,1 cm telescope on board this satellite can observe the landmasses of Kerbin in 600 nm light, assuming no air (red: < 1 m, orange: < 10 m, yellow: < 100 m, white otherwise if still visible)
<raptop> Large area, though kerbin exists in the high curvature regime
<egg|anbo|egg> (Mollweide, I’m not going to use plate carrée, that would be indecent)
<egg|anbo|egg> raptop: yeah no FoV considerations here, this is « if pointed here and were diffraction limited, how well would you see it »
<egg|anbo|egg> raptop: also note the altitude, we are fairly high

<egg|laptop|egg> raptop: maybe I could model a focal plane that the same size as the aperture, is covered by an arbitrarily-dense sensor, and that then FoV restrictions on top of this full plane are due to other factors (bandwidth primarily)
<egg|laptop|egg> missing verb

<iximeow> hm
<iximeow> what are the visually brightest objects, by absolute magnitude?
<iximeow> i'd assume "quasars" and that then "the brightest quasars" are "the brightest things", but i'm not sure
<raptop> electromagnetically, not eg: gravitational waves, right?
<raptop> uh, quasars or GRBs (along the beam path) in any case
<raptop> !choose aaaa|AAAA
<galois> raptop: Your options: aaaa, AAAA. My choice: aaaa
<raptop> I mean, that's the right reaction for getting no information about how to do the asynch labs, but for the synch ones?
<iximeow> aaaaaaaaaaaa
<iximeow> raptop: yes, electromagnetically
<iximeow> i think i'd rather not be in the beam path of a GRB
<raptop> It's fine. (1+z)^4 is even better shielding than 1/r^2
<SnoopJ> !how many GRBs have we been in the path of
<galois> SnoopJ: 527 GRBs
<raptop> (We're in the path of all the ones we observe at high redshift, I think)
<SnoopJ> I know they exist and...that's actually about it :/
