“””Although the flyby occurred at 12:33 a.m. ET on Tuesday, the spacecraft is so far from Earth that the “phone-home” signal didn’t reach us until about 10:30 a.m. ET.””” 😎We got the signal before it was sent.

You may want to refigure that.....12:33 a.m. = 33 minutes after midnight. 10:30 a.m. = 10 hours and 30 minutes after midnight........or 10 hours and 27 minutes AFTER the flyby and the signal was sent.

Like everyone else, I read it the same way. The article is not clear. It could have simply stated the interval. Generally speaking, more than a few in the science fields have difficulty writing coherent sentences for non-scientists.

It’s incredible to me that something as small as these satellites can transmit with sufficient power to be received billions of miles away.
