# The land-sea distribution under the trajectory modulates the effect.

The land-sea distribution under the trajectory modulates the effect.

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The sign of the residual follows an Earth-fixed visibility proxy.

## What would rule it out

- Future flybys whose signs contradict the proxy.

## Evidence 1 for · none against
