I'd really like to see the modeling on this. My brain just can't compute flashes that are discrete enough and useful enough to serve as data points.

Though once you get into advanced physics my brain starts to melt. And I guess even the idea that they're able to plot the exact angular position to use the topography information is kind of fucking up my head.
