‘Celestial mechanics treats more broadly the orbit dynamics of systems under the influence of gravity, including both spacecraft and natural astronomical bodies such as star systems, planets, moons, and comets.’
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialICEYE-X77 and POSIDONIA will pass within 3.64 km in orbit, zipping by at speeds several km/s. With 29,409 objects in space, many uncontrolled, close calls like this are the norm.
