Exceptionally clean explosion with (no initial evidence) of post explosion
wake light or ablation products. High elevation event. I have not yet
measured Azimuth & Elevation but will do so later today and post it here.
Without further examination at this time, the apparent peak light period too
brief to even saturate a single frame but could easily be as bright or
brighter than the Sun. Over 75,000 pixels peak in Sentinels light graph.
Graph looks like a needle point. Super clean!
