For anyone who would like a better source than the Daily Star, here's an article at Caltech:
https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/palomar-survey-instrument-analyzes-impact-of-starlink-satellites https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/palomar-survey-instrument...
It includes this perspective:
> Study co-author Tom Prince, the Ira S. Bowen Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Caltech, says the paper shows a single streak affects less than one-tenth of a percent of the pixels in a ZTF image.
> "There is a small chance that we would miss an asteroid or another event hidden behind a satellite streak, but compared to the impact of weather, such as a cloudy sky, these are rather small effects for ZTF."

- mlindner 5y agoChange the title as well as the title still misrepresents the content.
- BurningFrog 5y agoIOW, since the satellites are visible, they can occasionally obscure something behind them. Reminds me of the SF housing madness where you can build housing, as long as it doesn't cast a shadow.
