April 19, Amateur astronomer from the Czech Republic Zdenek Bardon made the two orthogonal direct from satellites Starlink in a single frame. According to Bardon, he tried to take a picture of a disintegrating comet Atlas (C2019 Y4). At the same time, he noted that the night sky in his location suffers from light pollution, and to create an image of the comet required an overlay of multiple exposures.

When he was taking pictures, it did not consider the trajectory of the satellites Starlink, and many of the photographs were ruined.

This is the latest illustration of a growing problem: to date, SpaceX has launched satellites Starlink 360, it is planned to launch more than 12,000.

This whole situation reminded Peter Tarr of the research Foundation brain and behavior, classics of science fiction. The of Bardon with intersecting tracks of satellites similar to the "tholian web" from Star Trek television series.

"The only problem is that it's not the enterprise is caught in a web of Ilona and earth observational astronomy!" he says.
