Instead of “constellation”, the collective noun for satellites should be “smog”.
“A smog of satellites made it impossible to enjoy a night sky viewing, despite otherwise perfect weather.”

@8r3n7 @rayckeith ah, but with these wildfires, "smog" is again becoming useful in its original meaning.
What about "a smear" of satellites?
Sounds icky, which it is.

@deborahh @8r3n7 @rayckeith @sundogplanets alternatively, a "mob". It sounds as hostile and billionaire funded as these swarms.
@Routhinator @8r3n7 @rayckeith @sundogplanets also good. It evokes how blackbirds mob raptors. Fight for territory.
@deborahh @Routhinator @8r3n7 @rayckeith @sundogplanets "Smog" = smoke + fog. How about "spog" (space + fog)?
