When I mentioned it to my astronomer son (who's sheltering with us from his usual location in California), he said that Musk's satellites are a huge issue with the astronomer community. Musk has provided a huge number of extraneous light sources -- very bright when illuminated by the sun -- that astronomers now have to account for when surveying the cosmos.
interesting. So, he’s very familiar with this satellite train. I wouldn’t have thought of those implications.
