Question

Did you know? SpaceX's Starlink network has more than 6,000 satellites in low orbit since 2024 — more than all other ever-launched satellites combined. Astronomers complain they pollute stargazing: an average long-exposure photo contains multiple Starlink streaks.

Accepted Answer

SpaceX's Starlink network has more than 6,000 satellites in low orbit since 2024 — more than all other ever-launched satellites combined. Astronomers complain they pollute stargazing: an average long-exposure photo contains multiple Starlink streaks.

SpaceX's Starlink-netwerk telt sinds 2024 meer dan 6.000 satellieten in lage baan — meer dan alle andere ooit gelanceerde satellieten samen. Astronomen klagen dat ze sterrenwaarnemingen vervuilen: een gemiddelde lange-blootstelling foto bevat meerdere Starlink-strepen.
