Come on, at least find out what the "beef" you support is about!

  Not the visible spectrum, that's for sure.

    Oh, that's an interesting angle. Satellites emitting radiation would really be a 24/7 problem. Ultimately, astronomical observatories should be in space anyway.

      +1 for working out the issue on your own. As commentary: > at least find out what the "beef" you support is about! It's a problem many wish to see resolved, it's not a fight I "support" like a punter at a boxing match. I guess if I wanted to find out more about this "beef" I might read a paper, talk to a person, or go to a conference. * Bright unintended electromagnetic radiation from second-generation Starlink satellites - https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2024/09/aa51856-24/aa51856-24.html https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2024/09/aa51856-... * Federico Di Vruno https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7454-7883 https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7454-7883 * Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky - https://cps.iau.org/ https://cps.iau.org/ Thank you for that suggestion. > Ultimately, astronomical observatories should be in space anyway. Well, that's certainly an opinion. There's a wide range of survey programs and in terms of bang for buck it makes sense for some to be in space, others not so much. Ultimately there should be somewhat less space junk in LEO's but sadly that's a problen that is only going to get worse now multiple parties want oversized SpaceTwitter type constellations.
