Redditor Captures Farthest Starship 15 Sighting Ever Thanks to Claude's Tracking Math
Historical-News1600 · reddit · 2026-11-15
A Reddit user shares that Claude calculated when Starship 15 would pass overhead — including how light would reflect off the ship — and told him exactly how to set up his camera, down to the degree. The result: the farthest Starship 15 sighting he's managed, and highly accurate. When he couldn't spot it visually, Claude even found it in his recorded footage.
A neat example of AI as an observation advisor: orbital prediction plus lighting geometry plus camera guidance in one shot.
