The Pleiades-1b satellite takes red, blue, then green images - the satellite below it (tentatively Starlink 31147) has moved between the three images. I calculate the image was taken around 1719UTC on 2024 Nov 29.

A really interesting find on Reddit today of a satellite imaged on Google Earth! It's located at 33.744157, -96.746170 . As of now it has not been positively identified but the imagery date was on 11/29/2024.

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1

Starship made a controlled reentry, successfully making it through the phases of peak heating and max aerodynamic pressure and demonstrating the ability to control the vehicle using its flaps while descending through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds
