Astronomers are not changing anything IN the sky, Starlink does?
- shadowgovt 7y agoThe sky changes all the time. Astronomers are observers, and it seems the onus should be on the observer to change the way they interpret the observation if the observable changes. We didn't kill radio stations (or microwave ovens) to make sure that radio telescopes can do their jobs [https://xkcd.com/2226/ https://xkcd.com/2226/].
- pintxo 7y agoIsn't there a "security-zone" around the large radio-telescopes where usage of most electronic devices is forbidden?
