Kiwi photographer captures hundreds of satellites in night sky
Original: "Kiwi photographer captures images of hundreds of satellites in the night sky" by Stuff🇳🇿 - With networking satellite co
A photographer in New Zealand has produced images showing hundreds of satellites streaking across the night sky, after taking a long series of exposures in a single sitting. The pictures highlight how satellite constellations, particularly SpaceX's Starlink network, have noticeably increased the number of satellites visible overhead. The images are drawing attention to growing concerns about how mega-constellations are changing the view of the stars for astronomers and the public.
Why now: Growing concern over how Starlink and other satellite constellations are cluttering the night sky
