Thanks Scott, Goodness, we amateurs are really affected. phil On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 10:53:21 PM EST, Scott via Astro <astro@lists.gaac.us> wrote: https://earthsky.org/space/enormous-bluebird-satellites-artificial-stars-ast-spacemobile/ Enormous BlueBird satellites unfurled in low Earth orbit astro@lists.gaac.us https://gaac.us http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage

This is what the IAU warned about. These things will be awful. With the new political reality of removing all regulations... there is no hope at all on this now.

        Yes this is a disaster in the making, along with the starlink net that a Billionare is covering the globe with!          With outdated and dead debris drifting and float at many different altitudes without control it is only a short matter of time before there will be a catastrophe! There will be debris fields raining down everywhere uncontrolled.           Kiss our amateur viewing and astrophotography good by. With all this hardware being added to our night ski!                                   Regards, Ron  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Nov 7, 2024 at 9:17 AM, Christine Caton-McGill<ca.caton.mcgill@gmail.com> wrote: astro@lists.gaac.us https://gaac.us http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage

Yes, I never put stuff here but this calls me to action. I tell my students that: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" (sigh)...
