Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that geostationary satellites remain fixed above one point on Earth's equator?

Yes. A reference article states that a geostationary satellite appears motionless in a fixed position to ground observers, and a peer-reviewed chapter says a satellite placed over the equator at the proper distance appears stationary. Other sources confirm GEO satellites are maintained in fixed track above the equator, though some note small residual drift requiring station-keeping.
