Details:
#Cosmos482 imaging update: I found my first image from 2011 and also this shows a similar elongation. This set shows observerations from 2011-2014 & 2024. Lower images show comparison to Cosmos44 rocket from 2014 with the same imaging method. Also a small object but no elongation. I was stunned that I was able to confirm images taken a decade ago of the in 1972 launched intended Venera probe cosmos-482 that is stuck in Earth orbit for 53 years. Images taken in 2024 likely confirm images taken in 2014 that some structure may be connected to the capsule. It is not impossible that this is the parachute that alreay came out of the capsule a long time ago, but this is still speculation!
