Twenty percent of Earth-based astronomical photography is getting photobombed by Starlink. It's getting worse.

@mcfate I doubt we'll ever get that far too. Odds are we will destroy our civilization within 200 years. I'm betting within 100, based on this pandemic and how people respond to being asked to do the smallest things to help prevent it getting worse.
I suspect we'll probably survive in some fashion. Humanity has proven to be brilliant at waiting until the very last minute to solve pressing problems as best one can by that point.
We were justing fucking around with mRNA vaccines, NOW we're exceptional at 'em.
@lacuda
I'm somewhat skeptical we'll get that far, but I suppose all of those would fuck up ecosystems in ways that nature couldn't possibly.
