Over the past few years, astronomers have expressed a growing sense of alarm about the threat Starlink satellites pose to astronomy. Are they exaggerating?
A picture is worth a thousand words…
Look at this single one-minute exposure of Comet 12/Pons-Brooks, taken on May 4th:
There is no question that SpaceX is conducting a giant uncontrolled experiment by filling low-Earth orbit with unprecedented numbers of satellites.
Bright lines criss-crossing astrophotos aren’t the only problem.
Harmful changes to Earth’s atmosphere and ecosystems are possible, too, along with catastrophic cascade collisions in Earth orbit.
According to the IAU, the number of Starlink-like satellites launched by SpaceX and competitors could grow from the current value near 5800 to more than 500,000 in the years ahead.
Is that really a good idea? NOPE, NOT AT ALL! [Nature 1, Nature 2, Chatham House, IAU]

I’m waiting to hear that nasa can’t launch deep space probes for all the satellites and other true space junk.
Amazing the number of companies people with projects that fail to take into account maintence and degradation.
All projects have a life expectancy.
