@sundogplanets@mastodon.social probably you already knew this but i just came across this thanks to a colleague of mine that sent me tho link. Amazon satellites are pretty bright --> https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.07708 Abstract: "The mean apparent magnitude of Amazon Leo satellites is 6.28 based on 1,938 observations. For spacecraft in their operational mode, 92% exceeded the brightness limit recommended by the IAU for interference with research, while 25% distract from aesthetic appreciation of the night sky. The reflective characteristics are similar to Version 1 Starlink spacecraft." #satellites #amazon #megaconstellations #skypollution #satellitepollution #lightpollution #space #astronomy
