It was actually unintentional but I am surprised that it got posted at all.

Yes, "a low blow" was indeed what happened on 9/11.

Not one for celebrity deaths, but this sucks. Such a big part of my movie going experience while growing up.

| Didn't know he had died until I noticed the "- 2014" in the caption and did a double-take. Suicide, apparently?

Apparently so. The fact that after his next few movies come out there won't be anymore Robin Williams again is just a depressing thought.

| I'm looking through stuff from my meteor cams. This is obviously a satellite:

But it flashes twice. Two panels on the satellite? It might not be uncommon, but I don't think I've seen twin flashes before.
Added: It reappeared the next night, 18 minutes later:

Interesting. Definitely is a satellite, but do we know or can we figure out which one it is? There are a lot of tumbling/derelict ones up there which produce multiple flashes as a consequence of their rotation, but it is curious that this exhibits only two flashes in close proximity and on both appearances. It also seems like the whole streak is itself a flare, which would argue against it being a tumbler.

Indeed, calsky.com and Orbitron as well.  But I'd need date/time/location to have much chance of finding it. There are so many satellites up there.

| I've seen tumbling satellites, but those flash repeatedly.
59.97056N 10.649639E 349 masl. 2014-07-21 23:30UTC for the first pass. 2014-07-22 23:48UTC for the second pass. Exact timings can be found in the videos (second video).
The camera is pointed SSW and has a 150 deg FOV diagonally.

| The best match for both passes is USA 224, which is a classified reconnaissance satellite.
Midtskogen, what is it you're hiding over there?

I'm flying to SF on Saturday. That would be the reason.
