Light streaks caused by passing satellites mar images taken by the world's most expensive telescopes. The problem is set to ...
Light pollution from SpaceX’s Starlink and other satellite internet constellations are causing trouble for astronomers. They’re urging policymakers to regulate satellite launches in a series ...
A long-exposure image of the Orion Nebula with a total exposure time of 208 minutes shows satellite trails in mid-December 2019, when only roughly 180 Starlink satellites had been launched. (A. H.
Beyond radio astronomy, the interference problem extends to increased light pollution. Research from 2022 revealed that less than 0.5 percent of astronomical images were affected by satellites in ...
The fully extended satellite is much larger and much brighter than a Starlink satellite. With the recent launch as a prototype, AST SpaceMobile plans to send more into space, some potentially bigger.
Starlink is a satellite internet system that is operated by Elon Musk's rocket company, SpaceX. Musk first expressed interest in building a satellite constellation in 2014. At the time, the ...
Starlink and Light Pollution SpaceX, Starlink, and Elon Musk are not oblivious to how their satellite constellation contributes to light pollution in the skies.

A new type of super-black, highly resistant satellite paint promises an affordable fix to the satellite light pollution problem that has marred astronomical research since the recent advent of low ...
Starlink satellites create light pollution and disrupt radio frequencies. And it’s getting worse Rolando Ligustri took this early image of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) on Aug. 1 from Italy.
There's another new problem: While initially Starlink satellites appeared red, their new V2 satellites appear blue. "This is a consequence, we think, of the coating that's been put on the new Starlink ...
