- The webcast globe is about 270 pixels wide; the page registers its rim and matches coastlines against a 1° Natural Earth land mask.
Field notes
The method uses the webcast’s mission clock to locate orbital coast and samples its speed and altitude readings every 10 minutes. For the globe estimate, the page describes fitting a circle to 71 rays along the rim, then searching for the view orientation that best matches coastline brightness. It labels the output an estimate and says official ephemerides would replace the reconstruction if published.
