Q: Black spot in Mars' sky

There is a sequence of three raw images by Mars Curiosity Rover taken in Sol 3066 (22/03/2022, roughly) that show the same features of Mars' landscape and sky. They are separated by 38 seconds' difference each. This is the first one. This is the last one. Interestingly, the middle one shows a bla...

Q: Opportunities to see a near earth object via unaided eyes or binoculars?

I would like to see a near earth object proper with my eyes or binoculars someday. Has this been possible recently? Are there any upcoming potential opportunities to do so in say the next 20 or 50 years? I have a shot at the first one, the second one is for the benefit of others :-)

@NikeDattani :-) No, it is just coincidence. It would be very hard to do without socks, but using socks would risk to lock the rep to 1. :-)

Any bet, when will SN11 fly?

@geoffc How is starlink doing with paying customers? I think huawei, motorola and the large android phone manufacturers should get some license which enables them to simply sell starlink-capable phones.
