I had 3 hours straight of back-to-back intense meetings on various aspects of satellites destroying astronomy with different groups of people. This dishcloth I knitted during the meetings expresses my sentiment perfectly.

Sorry, Verification failed, please try again.
@sundogplanets wonderful way to communicate - protest knitting! 💪
@sundogplanets
I ove the tension changes as a linear and measurable metric of you r frustration, and i thank you for your sacrifice
@bloognoo HAHA I didn't even notice that, you're totally right.
If you ever need a side hustle I would pay untold amounts of money for such a knitted dish cloth
@sundogplanets Blackadder 4 vibes. "Made a note in my diary on the way here. It simply said... Bugger."
@sundogplanets I just want you to know that I am SO grateful you are out there doing this work. It's so important and your voice really, really matters.
@sundogplanets
F’ing excellent !!
@sundogplanets it's not that I'm against satellites per se, but you are right: junking the orbitals is not acceptable.
I've wondered about this too. I guess space observatories are the only answer? Not good. Couldn't the arc of the sky be... regulated.. ???
@sundogplanets did you create the pattern or get it on Ravelry? I feel a burning need to make this my next knitting project.
@sundogplanets No idea how the satellite trend can be reversed. But it's worth the fight for soooo many reasons.
But for astronomy, could one way to help be to have various types of telescopes in space -- in higher orbits than the telecom satellites? Maybe even a few space based observatories?
