How can sunlight reflecting off SpaceX's Starlink satellites interfere with ground-based operations? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to address as a pair of researchers investigate how Starlink satellites appear brighter—which the researchers also refer to as flaring—to observers on Earth when the sun is at certain angles, along with discussing past incidents of how this brightness has influenced aerial operations on Earth.
In the four years since skywatchers cried foul over Starlink satellites mucking up the night sky , the astronomy community has collaborated with SpaceX and other companies on ways to mitigate the impact of megaconstellations on optical and radio astronomy in the near term while seeking long-term regulatory solutions.
