As nice as #IridiumFlares were, they certainly are #LightPollution much to the dismay of #Astronomers...

@sundogplanets Yes, and Starlink is a massive pollutant - bith in terms if RF ?-Spectrum and Light!
Tho there's technically a constellation consisting of almost half a billion metal needles tho aside from some frozen gel lumps most of them are presumed to have reentered.

@TimBondy So basically it's like #IridiumFlares but with distracting frequency...
Because #Iridium did choose to have their replacements not #FlareWell...
#flarewell is one of the most bittersweet #hashtags there is.
Now Iām extra salty I did not see the notification about the -6.5 magnitude #Iridium #flare until an hour after it flew by last month.
