   How many satellites have known locations?

   • Three satellites (labeled as "stations" A, B, C) have known locations. The true times it takes for a radio signal to travel from each satellite to the receiver are unknown, but the true time differences are known. Then, each time difference locates the receiver on a branch of a hyperbola focused on the satellites.

   Will asteroid Apophis Miss Earth?

   • Apophis will miss Earth and astronomers have ruled out any chance the asteroid will collide with our planet for at least the next 100 years. Astronomers believe an object this large - around 375m across, almost the size of the Empire State Building - comes this close to Earth only once every 5,000 to 10,000 years.

   How many satellites are needed for a solution space?

   • The solution space [ x, y, z, b] can be seen as a four-dimensional spacetime, and signals from at minimum four satellites are needed. In that case each of the equations describes a hypercone (or spherical cone), with the cusp located at the satellite, and the base a sphere around the satellite.

   1 day ago · These satellite measurements have estimated rates of sea level rise for 1993–2017 at 3.0 ± 0.4 millimetres (1 ⁄ 8 ± 1 ⁄ 64 in) per year. Satellites are useful for measuring regional variations in sea level. An example is the substantial rise between 1993 and 2012 in the western tropical Pacific.
