Sometimes, the result fetched from the NASA API is such that the values seen in the sighting data within the app may return NaN.

The XML parsing logic will have to be adjusted to accommodate this.

However, it needs to be reliably reproduced first. It only happens occasionally when the NASA API returns non-standard responses.

Borrowed a Redmi phone from a relative to discover this.

It can also be reproduced on a higher DPI phone if you scale the display or font size up in Android settings.

Since this could not be tested during development, I had a suspicion that this was not working properly.

To test, I did not open the app since mid June, when there were no scheduled sightings.

The expected behavior was that when the new sightings would roll out in August, I would automatically get notifications.

However, there were no notifications as the app was not opened to refresh the sightings in memory, hinting that background syncing isn't quite working.

I will open the app again, and check that notifications do appear after that, proving that background syncing needs to be looked at.

Either way, expect a fix in the next couple of days.
