@sundogplanets it's very sad. I was sitting outside with my spouse last night to watch a Starlink train pass (her first) and I pointed out that as the train crossed paths with another satellite the odds were very high that the other sat was also a Starlink. Didn't realize the odds were that high😬 7 comments
@sundogplanets @paulknightly There are other companies trying to launch their own large constellations of communications satellites, including OneWeb and Amazon Kuiper. Starlink is moving faster but not the only culprit.  @EricFielding @paulknightly Astronomers are painfully aware of this fact https://planet4589.org/space/con/conlist.html @sundogplanets @EricFielding @paulknightly Anyone that used to enjoy a peaceful view of the night sky is painfully aware.  @sundogplanets @paulknightly Wait'll they all crash into each other... No satellites, no space travel for decades! Fun, fun! #KesslerSyndrome |

@paulknightly Almost all the satellites you can see with your eyes now are Starlinks. Nicely demonstrated in this awful/beautiful photo: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220614.html
