Trump Said He Called Musk for Helene Help — FEMA Was Already on It 


Starlink ( SpaceX’s Starlink satellites). which launched in 2019, consists of thousands of satellites that are orbiting about 342 miles above Earth, as noted on space.com. The light these satellites give off is reflected from the sun as they trail along working to provide broadband internet access around the world.. .


Astronomers have reported over the last few years that Starlink’s satellites and their light have caused issues, including ruining images taken by telescopes and otherwise contributing to light pollution, such as in a 2020 report from the United Nations. 
While SpaceX and the US National Science Foundation entered an agreement in 2023 to try to work on mitigating some of the negative impacts of Starlink, the full scope of their efforts and their effectiveness remains to be seen.
