Let six frames tell the story
Follow the changing silhouette across six NASA photographs, then examine the spacewalk-debris explanation behind a famous satellite legend.
What to keep in mind
The thermal-cover explanation is attributed to the mission-context analysis. Frame numbers give archive order, not precise timing; a single silhouette does not establish material or origin.
Leave the iconic frame
Compare the familiar silhouette with frame 67. Which edges or lit surfaces change, and what does the famous frame hide when viewed alone?
Follow the changing shape
Across frames 68 and 69, which observations are compatible with rotation, folds or a flexible surface? Keep those possibilities separate from a measured three-dimensional shape.
Bookend the sequence
Compare the early and late numbered views. Which explanation can account for their different outlines without treating the numbers as a calibrated clock?
