It’s really sad that something as universal and beautiful as the night sky is now something to be pissed on. Pretty much a perfect example to demonstrate that “tech people” are amoral assholes. I hope the satellites all burn up.
- valuearb 6y agoStarlink isn’t visible in the night sky. It’s satellites are in such low orbits they spend Tye night in the earths shadow, where they are invisible. They are only visible on the horizon at dawn/dusk, where there is actual sunlight to reflect. Lastly the latest version of Starlink satellites has a shade visor that reduces reflection enough to make them invisible even at dawn/dusk.
- scroogeydop 6y agoI have seen them with my own eyes. And they are currently at what, 1% of expected deployment? And when amazon and who-knows-who-else puts up their constellation?
- valuearb 6y agoAgain, you can’t see them when it’s night without magnification. And with visors you can’t see them at dawn or dusk.
- scroogeydop 6y agoAgain, these are both not true. Even if they were, it doesn’t help astronomers. Quit sucking Elon’s dick for 5 sec and you might let a little reality seep in.
