Human Spaceflight

This photo depicts the satellite-filled sky that is now a reality and getting more crowded every week. The image consists of exposures taken over a 30-minute stretch in June 2024 from a latitude of 51 degrees north, when satellites even in low Earth orbit are lit all night by sunlight. Many of the parallel streaks heading generally horizontal west to east (right to left) may be from groups of SpaceX Starlinks. Others traveling vertically north-south are more likely from Earth-observation satellites. There is at least one natural streak in the image — a meteor at center, caught by chance in one frame.

I note that Void's observations about the Louisiana Launch site (and specifically it's suitability for sun synchronous orbits) match up pretty well with the "one million orbiting data centers" line from Tereza Pultarova's report from March of 2026.
