Non è ancora del tutto chiaro quale sarà l'impatto finale del lancio di questa flotta di satelliti Starlink:
Responding to concerns on Twitter, Musk initially suggested that the satellites would be in darkness when the stars were visible. However, others disputed this, including Bassa who has done some preliminary calculations of the number of Starlink satellites likely to be visible to observers. Since the satellites are higher than the Earth’s surface, they remain illuminated by sunlight after sunset here.
His estimates suggest that once the first 1,584 satellites are launched, for which the trajectories have already been made public, there will be about 15 satellites clearly visible above the horizon for three to four hours after sunset and before sunrise.
This means that in winter there would be several hours of the night during which no satellites would be visible. But in summer the satellites would be visible all nightComunque, è ovvio che si tratti di una grossa seccatura..
