“a bright visitor passing through the inner Solar System. Now, the orbiting satellites themselves only appear as streaks because of the long camera exposure, over 10 minutes in this case. On the contrary, to the eye, satellites appear as points that drift slowly across the night sky and shine by reflecting sunlight – primarily just after sunset and before sunrise. The featured image was taken just before sunrise two weeks ago from Bavaria, Germany.”
I guess the only ways to access the natural sky is to leave the atmosphere or to use AI to remove the trails.
i was so worried about this when I first heard of the sheer amount of starlink crap being launched into orbit. upset that my worries were justified :(
Don’t worry too much yet, it’s still bound to get worse
Kepler syndrome Wall-E worse.
I wonder what those “no contact” tribes think of the increase in moving stars
The Sentinelese are the last men standing.
I really admire the Sentinelese. In the face of overwhelming technological disparity, they still fight back against any outside intrusion. I wonder what kind of stories they tell each other about the outside world
That’s a succinct summation of life for many of us about far too many things, sadly.
What community is this? Oh…. Right.
