@thomasfuchs @user47 I get this. There are a lot of satellites.
But stars are still brighter than satellites. I need to be in a really dark sky area to be able to see the satellites going by — with the exception of recently launched Starlink trains. Even though fade after a few days.
My bigger complaint is that we don't have enough dark skies. I can't see how we can complain about satellites that we can't actually see.
@thomasfuchs It's a mega-datacenter in geosynchronous orbit sweetheart..." 💀

Ein geostationärer Satelit!
@thomasfuchs a geostationary satellite probably

Did not know if you saw this.
@thomasfuchs Oh Wow! That has impacted hard.
@thomasfuchs Let's see how long we can still send objects into space. The Kessler syndrome is just waiting to happen, and it is becoming more likely with every new object in LEO.
@thomasfuchs it's probably a satellite in geostationary orbit, because stars are moving too 😉
@thomasfuchs They actually *all* move, though one just makes a very small circle. 😉
@thomasfuchs Sadly prophetic. I wonder if @sundogplanets has seen this...
@thomasfuchs give them enough time with their "night mirrors" or whatever and we won't even have a night's sky.
@thomasfuchs A sattelite out of fuel?
@Daseinsappeal that's not how satellites work
@thomasfuchs @Daseinsappeal right, so it's probably just a dead pixel
@thomasfuchs right now it feels like any progress proposed by tech bros usually involves destroying something else.
I believe the illustration is from this Kelsey Johnson: https://www.kelseyjohnson.com btw
@thomasfuchs So fucking sad. :-(
