IridiumFlares description:
IridiumFlares is a software that will predict the flares made by the constellation of communication satellites known as Iridium.
A flare can be observed when a light source (such as the sun or the moon) is reflected by one of the satellite's antennas. A flare is a very bright phenomenon (the brightest have a magnitude of about -8.4) that can easily be observed if the date and location in the sky are known.
This phenomenon generally occurs at least once a day, the morning before sun set or the evening after dawn. Some flares can be visible during the day.
The duration of a flare is approximately from 3 to 8 seconds, therefore an application that predicts the exact date is required to have a maximum chance to correctly observe the phenomenon
