Starlight, not stars. Starlight on a moonless night, as in general illumination. So, the satellites would help the critters you refer to.
The only hazards these satellites will provide are.
1. more space junk (hazard to critters IN space)
2. more earth junk an pollution when the fall back down.
As for astronomy, we need to move that outside the atmosphere anyhow.
- simion314 7y agoSo let's spend 1000 or more money from the public so Elon and other big companies get even more rich. If you think that a space telescope is just an earth telescope that you can move it in space you are wrong. Also even if you have the money you don't have the space ships to lift giant mirrors into space and the technology to keep stuff there to monitor and fix things. If this satellites would have a major upside then maybe we could consider them, there are alternatives to get internet to people but there are o alternatives now to put big telescopes in space.
