One of my first captures of an #IridiumFlare was the only shot I ever got of SV98 on 18 June 2018. What a joy that was! It was a –2.8mag. 🤩❤️🛰✨ I hope Twitter compression doesn't wipe it out. #WorldIridiumFlareDay #flarewell @catchtheiridium

This was my last #Iridium capture, SV97. From #SpringValley on November 6, 2019. Happy #WorldIridiumFlareDay. 🛰️☁️🌴📷 #LasVegas #GoOutsideAndLookUp #flarewell #Iridiumflares #ThePhotoHour @catchtheiridium @maryhardesty_ @SithWitchHatake @iramollay @IridiumComm
Today 20th September 2022 we are happy to celebrate the 3rd #worldiridiumflare day! In this day of 1997 the Belgian amateur astronomer Chris Dorreman took the first picture ever of a -8 magnitude #iridiumflare ( featured as NASA APOD: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap980402.… ) #flarewell
@IridiumBoss @JHassin Congratulations guys! Well deserved! 👏🏽
