finally, a daily telescope worth checking out

>Daily Telescope: A space-based camera spys a secretive Project Kuiper satellite
>Good morning. It's December 13, and today's image comes from a company that images other objects in space—HEO Space. It reveals one of the two Project Kuiper satellites currently undergoing testing in low-Earth orbit.
>Project Kuiper is Amazon's answer to SpaceX's Starlink satellite Internet constellation. However, in the run-up to the October launch of the first two demonstration satellites on an Atlas V rocket, Amazon was super secretive about the satellites.
>Based in Australia, HEO Space flies sensors as hosted payloads on other satellites, with the goal of providing the capability to identify other satellites in space and assess their status, operation, and anomalous behavior.
