But he's talking about determining in which direction the ship is
travelling, not where it ends up.
I'm not entirely sure which 'he' you're referring to, so I'll respond for
both the cases of Wayne Throop and Major Oz. Pay attention to which ever one
is appropriate.
WT: Even so, since the image is always of a ship moving away from you, you
can't tell what direction the ship is moving in unless you know at least one
of where it started or where it ends up.
MO: That wasn't specified. The original post just said 'tracking'. In my
idiolect, that encompasses figuring out where it's going / has ended up, not
just in which direction it went.
Wouldn't the ship look different in both cases? In the case where it
was comming towards you, the image will look like the ship is
reversing. This assumes ofc that the image isn't just a very bright
point of light.
