Note: After the fun at higher latitudes with the USA 144 Titan r, here
is one for the more latitudinally challenged SeeSaters. It is ~530 km
high when it enters eclipse near 24 deg S latitude at about 18:00 local
time. However, it pops out of eclipse near perigee (at only ~155 km) at
29 degrees N latitude around 04:00 local time.
