Rant on satellite constellations #SatCons
It's interesting how many of the large #satellite constellations are named after famous astronomers or #astronomy objects: Beidou, Galaxy, Galileo, Kepler, Kosmos, Kuiper. Yet they will have a huge impact on amateur and professional #astronomy. And I don't think, that is beautiful. Rather a slap in your face... 😟

@HIprocessor i am vocally opposed to naming telescopes after people at all, but I am not sure I follow your argument. I am interested tho!

@jegpeek Hey! Well, I'm not talking about telescopes, but about "megaconstellations", which will take the night sky away from us. What would these astronomers think, if they knew...?
