“Being shortlisted alone is a massive undertaking when considering such a prolific photography competition such as this one. 140 images were selected from up to 4,000 global submissions. Therefore having my work showcased was an immense privilege while being printed in the annual publication....
Current satellite internet works using large spacecraft that orbit 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above a particular spot on Earth. But at that distance, there are generally significant time delays in sending and receiving data. By being closer to our planet and networking together, Starlink's sate...
Starlink satellites are launched from ground level and are only visible as they begin their ascent above the clouds. From there, they are dispersed all over the planet. Here is a video that explains the science behind the satellite technology used. Is Starlink Available in Kentucky and Indiana ...
Starlink has only grown in popularity among rural internet customers and it's clear to see why. Here's a closer look at the service terms of this satellite internet provider. Data caps Starlink's plans feature "unlimited data," but you'll likely still be subjected to speedthrottlingduring pe...
what it will do to our night sky - on a clear summer night, there is always one or several satellite (s) visible almost at any given moment already," Langbroek said. "With so many to be added over a short time span of only a few years, it will drastically alter how we experience...
SpaceX is testing a “knife-edge” maneuver, which rolls the satellite so that it is on the same plane as the Sun, reducing the surface area exposed to sunlight, and thus the amount of light reflected. As the New York Times reports, scientists can’t say yet whether these measures will...

Starlink trains are now a familiar sight, the boon and bane of the modern era. While SpaceX’s mega-satellite promises to become a true disruptor in the worldwide internet game, it also has the potential to add to the burden of light pollution in the night sky. Will there soon come a...
Concern about the proliferation of privately owned satellites in space andcontroversy in astronomical circlesabout the impact of low-orbiting satellites on the night sky is not uncommon. In 2019, shortly after Starlink's first broadband satellite deployment, theInternational Astronomical Union released an...
The other handful of companies that are planning to or have launched the satellite constellations have not launched recently and largely pushed them into orbit at a farther distance from Earth, he said. Fienberg's group as well as others that represent both professional and amateur stargazers don...
