Starlink is SpaceX’s satellite broadband project that will eventually see tens of thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth to deliver internet to every corner of the globe. While the cause may be admirable, some astronomers believe it could be detrimental in humanity’s bid to save itself from annihilation from an asteroid collision. This is because asteroid hunting telescopes search for faint images of asteroids which they use to judge the space rock’s trajectory. However, this task becomes even more difficult when telescopes have to filter out tens of thousands of light-reflecting Starlink satellites on top of the satellites already in Earth’s orbit. But one astronomer believes space experts should have been better prepared for the day when major corporations win out over the science community, and that they should have attempted to prevent projects like Starlink before they began. Astronomer John McDowell told Axios: “The astronomy community dropped the ball.“We should have been on this 10 years ago and we didn’t see it coming.”Even Elon Musk has previously warned that “a big rock will hit Earth eventually”, and now astronomers are reiterating his previous sentiment. While the chances of a major asteroid hitting Earth are small – NASA believes there is a one-i...
