Much brighter than Starlink

Starlink trails through our astro images may be a nuisance but a planned new mobile comm system may see trails bright like the ISS!

A 64 sq metre phased array antenna. Even bigger ones are planned. When Space X Starship becomes operational it could put up hundreds of these things in one go.

Big companies and billionaires running and controlling low Earth orbit...Yes, sadly, like our climate, our night sky darkness (and level of congestion) also has a bleak future....
