I'll end with the last paragraph of the paper:

"In addition to the dangerously high collision risks calculated here, we are already experiencing disruption of astronomy, pollution in the upper atmosphere from increasingly frequent satellite ablation, and increased ground casualty risks. By […]

This is blowing up a bit: not trying to scare you all! There is a *gigantic* set of sunspots coming around the limb of the sun, comparable in size to the sunspots sketched by Carrington. They may or may not send some plasma our way. There is also a minor aurora event predicted for 2 days from […]

The sky isn't quite dark enough to see if there are auroras yet, but the fucking Starlinks are easy to see. Due to the Starlink main orbital shell configuration, there is almost always a Starlink or two visible crawling across the sky at the same elevation as the North Star (lots more in other […]

Allerdings sind solche Modelle & Vergleiche aus unserem Alltag auch gefährlich: Sie sind keine vollständige Beschreibung der Wirklichkeit, das geht nur mit der Mathematik. Auch brechen sie recht einfach zusammen - es gibt z.B. keine unendlich dehnbare Folie. Manchmal können sie auch irreführend […]

I always feel such a weird mix of hope and dread after these meetings. Can we really stop companies from destroying orbit? I am very glad to see that there are a lot of really lovely, kind astronomers who care enough to spend their time fighting to save the sky.
