Not everyone is enthusiastic about the idea of an incredible number of satellites and free internet. Astronomers have previously complained that satellites significantly complicate observing the night sky and they don't even want to imagine what it will look like after Starlink launches thousands of more satellites into orbit. Astronomers agree that the sky is a kind of human right and cultural heritage, so they are considering filing a lawsuit. In addition, they say that the rules need to be adjusted to limit similar projects. There is a petition that has already been signed by 1400 scientists. In addition to Starlink, it plans to send thousands of satellites into orbit and OneWeb has Amazon.

Yesterday evening, April 21.4.2020, 21,3, at 22:60 p.m., while looking at the sky in the direction of Příbram Podlesí, in the direction I think of Sedlčany-Votice-Vlašim, I noticed a number of Starling satellites passing by. I counted XNUMX luminous objects. I contacted the Onřejov observatory, where the event they confirmed. Allegedly, XNUMX of them are flying in a row, but not all of them can be seen. I was very lucky, because the light smog is quite significant here in Příbram.
The event was also confirmed by Mr. Lomoz from the observatory in Sedlčany, who also recorded the flyby. I watched the flyby for at least 15 minutes. I am very happy about it. It is worth raising your head to the sky from time to time and it paid off for me. I wish you all the same experiences. Yard
Maybe now it can be an experience for someone when there are dozens of them. What if there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands? Pro It wasn't even the first time I experienced it, and coincidentally at the same time. And I would immediately deorbit them all - send them to the ground. You won't even be able to look at the night sky. Something will always fly over it and flash.
