Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What's worse than a train of Starlink satellites cutting across an astro-photo? "I was trying to photograph disintegrating Comet ATLAS (C2019 Y4)," says Bardon. "My local night sky suffers from light pollution, and stacking of multiple exposures is necessary in order to image the comet. Unfortunately, I had not considered the trajectories of the Starlink satellites, and many of my exposures were contaminated." This is the latest illustration of a growing problem. To date, SpaceX has launched 360 Starlink satellites -- with more than 12,000 planned. These satellites are showing up in so many images of the night sky, we now have an entire photo gallery devoted to them. No wonder the International Astronomical Union has expressed concern.
