Satellites only reflect sunlight when in sunlight. This only happens near sunrise and sunset.
The night sky will be unaffected by satellites for the foreseeable future.

- BurningFrog 3mo agoThe topic is seeing the night sky.
- engineer_22 3mo agoParent might be talking about amateur radio astronomy which I agree might be straying from the main argument
- defrost 3mo agoProfessional radio astronomy - SKA et al. eg: Scientists analyze 76 million radio telescope images, find Starlink satellite interference 'where no signals are supposed to be present' (2025) ~ https://www.space.com/astronomy/scientists-analyze-76-million-radio-telescope-images-find-starlink-satellite-interference-where-no-signals-are-supposed-to-be-present https://www.space.com/astronomy/scientists-analyze-76-millio... and the topic is Starlink (and other sat constellations) and their impact on the sky (visible and non visible).
