'Of the 260 Starlink satellites that have reentered so far, we have reentry locations for 102. This plot illustrates that the locations are random, consistent with the fact that the final week of their orbital decay and reentry is uncontrolled'

Hubble’s Orbit Has Dropped So Far that Starlink Satellites are Photobombing its Images
https://www.universetoday.com/160405/hu … ts-images/
Astronomy is poised for another leap. In the next several years, major ground-based telescopes will come online, including the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT,) the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT,) the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT,) and the Vera Rubin Observatory. The combined power of these telescopes will help drive discovery in the next couple of decades.
But something threatens to undermine astronomical observing in the coming years: Starlink and other internet satellite constellations.
Now a group of astronomers have shown that even the Hubble can’t escape the satellite problem.

What’s Next: The Future of NASA’s Laser Communications
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/20 … unications
NASA uses lasers to send information to and from Earth, employing invisible beams to traverse the skies, sending terabytes of data – pictures and videos – to increase our knowledge of the universe. This capability is known as laser, or optical, communications, even though these eye-safe, infrared beams can’t be seen by human eyes.
