Also occurs during Cat 5 Hurricane Ian.The moon phase will be near a new moon. So, a very challenging flight around the moon given the orbital position relative to the Earth's magnetic field/bow shock.For more digits of Euler's number (e), please visit the NASA Goddard website link at:https://apod.nasa.gov/htmltest/gifcity/e.1milCurrently sticking with my original forecast from last November 2021. Currently +/- 12 hours, but still ~August 25th, 2022 12:00 ZULU time during a Cat V hurricane. Going to squeak this one in there. How do you know when a hurricane is going to come?
