After launching the first batch of the satellite Sterlink in 2019, SpaceX is working on orbit more than 8000 of them, and long-term plans to expand the stars to about 42,000.
However, satellites that provide broadband internet for residential and business clients around the world have been creating some disputes for many years because the reflections of sunlight from their deep observations of astronomers. Another thing is radio signals that are ejected by satellites, which also violate the ability of astronomers to collect data.
This week, which is shared this week, many images from the ground Skywatters satellites that pass over the head, but now the innovative Don Petty NASA-ray space scene for a short video (below).
“From orbit to my satellite” train “the best look!” Petty in the X message on Tuesday.
The pictures taken by Petit during a recent visit to the International Space Station (ISS) show several satellites in a long line (the so -called train) as soon as they enter into orbit.
As we saw in the previous pictures made by the telescope on the ground, bright reflections create a flow of light that affects astronomers for monitoring the universe. But this is not only affected by ground binoculars, such as the Hubble space telescope observations, such as the satellite of the Sterling, also in the orbit of the lower world.
SpaceX satellites tried to reduce the brightness of the image, providing them with visas, and the radio pre -proclaimed is reduced by impaired satellite infection when crossing the main radio -astronomical stations. However, satellites continue to influence the work of astronomers.
A large number of satellites remain a concern for astronomers who have called for greater cooperation to reduce light and radio.
Many satellites and other companies, such as Amazon, create constellations, such as the Starlink Internet itself, which SpaceX is regularly unfolding, must be properly resolved before the situation comes out of control.
In fact, researchers at the Paris Observatory and the Nan Radio Astronomy observatory have recently warned that the consequences of astronomy without effective action – especially radio astronomy – can be catastrophic.
