In April, Starlink and OneWeb satellites came uncomfortably close, and in 2019, a European Space Agency satellite fired thrusters to avoid hitting a Starlink one.

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 ...

Light streaks caused by passing satellites mar images taken by the world's most expensive telescopes. The problem is set to get worse.

Over the weekend of May 25th, astronomers and space enthusiasts everywhere caught a glimpse of SpaceX’s recently launched Starlink satellites in the sky. They’re the first 60 spacecraft of ...

SpaceX has another test planned that aims to reduce the amount of light pollution produced by its Starlink satellites, this one involving sunshades rather than an anti-reflective coating. Elon ...

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 ...

This new form of light pollution would occur the world over. It won’t matter if you’re in the suburbs, or in one of the 18 official dark sky preserves or at the North Pole. When you look up at ...

In a previous Starlink launch, SpaceX deployed a satellite replete with a dark coating as part of an experiment geared towards lowering the light-footprint of its satellites.

With no regulation, in the near future, one out of every 15 points you can see in the sky will actually be relentlessly crawling satellites, not stars. This will be devastating to research astronomy.

Chemicals produced by re-entering satellites of Starlink and other megaconstellations will likely alter the chemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere and cause damage to the protective ozone layer.
