New Northern Latitudes episode — and the timing matters.
The CRASH Clock dropped to 2.5 days today. Prof. Samantha Lawler (University of Regina) helped develop it. We talked about what it measures, what's driving it, and why the night sky is already measurably different than it was six years ago.
No meaningful regulations. One company. Two-thirds of orbit.

@sundogplanets it's amazing how a little manual work outdoors can change the day. If even for a moment or two.

The "crash clock" — how long before a collision cascade becomes likely in low Earth orbit if Starlink satellites stop maneuvering — has dropped from 5.5 days to 3 days in under a year.
Prof. Samantha Lawler @sundogplanets on the latest Northern Latitudes. It's a number worth sitting with.

The Number That Should Alarm You

One company owns 2/3s of every satellite currently in orbit.

That happened in 6 YEARS.

We sat down with the astronomer who's been tracking what that actually means.

@lauren reminds me of A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. which obviously it is not but thanks for reminding me of that great novel.
