Why do astronomers hate Musk

Who are the most hated businessmen for astronomers? Tesla boss Musk.

Musk has a space exploration technology company, they have a starlink plan, to send 40,000 satellites to the sky, so that they can monitor the earth, has sent 1900 satellites to the sky.

And these satellites have caused a lot of negative impacts on astronomers.

The first is that the reflection of the starlink satellites can easily burn out astronomical telescopes. Because those light that looks weak to the naked eye are particularly harsh in the eyes of astronomical telescopes.

The second is impact observation. It is necessary to know that astronomers observe a celestial body for several hours or even days continuously, but if a satellite passes by during this period, the data will not be used, and several days of efforts will be wasted.

There is also a worse effect, generally those once-in-a-million-year astronomical phenomena before the appearance of the star's light will emit abnormal signals, but now the star chain satellites can also let him send abnormal signals, which makes it easy to miss those astronomical wonders.

Hearing this, do you think, this has nothing to do with me, then I tell you, the continental space station has also been almost hit by the starlink satellite twice. The satellites have threatened the safety of astronauts, because even Musk can't tell the orbit of each satellite.

Recently, a science fiction movie told scientists about to discover that meteorites are about to hit the earth but humans are still immersed in infighting, but if the Starlink project expands unscrupulously, scientists will not even have a chance to discover meteorites in the future.
