SpaceX satellites' effect on night sky can't be eliminated, astronomers say:

Broadband satellites being launched by SpaceX and other companies will inevitably have a negative impact on astronomers' ability to observe the night sky, according to a new report by astronomers. There are no mitigation strategies that can completely eliminate the satellites' impact on astronomical observations—other than not launching satellites at all—but the report includes recommendations for how satellite operators can minimize disruption and how observatories can adjust to the changes.

The report released this week is titled, "Impact of Satellite Constellations on Optical Astronomy and Recommendations Toward Mitigations."

    QE is also a pretext for austerity when they tell us there's no money left for social services or a decent wage to keep up with expenses. Real money is being stolen from our accounts in this fashion. Too bad everybody is arguing over bullshit, can't even agree on the color of the sky any more. Looking at the same thing, one says it was the butler, the other says it was Colonel Mustard
