gollark: Ah yes, an asteroid firing a laser at the Earth which is somehow visible in space which is reflected off at a strange angle.
gollark: Doesn't it work out the distances from timing differences or something rather than signal strength or whatever?
gollark: I only know a bit about this from a sort of toy GPS-ish thing in a Minecraft computer mod (less ridiculous than it sounds), but I think you just need a bunch of distances and knowledge of the positions of them.
gollark: There's a dinosaur earth subreddit and everything.
gollark: No, I think dinosaur earth belief is more common than cone earth belief.
