Spacex's starlink set to offer global broadband by september

But the ambitious project has also drawn the ire of astronomers all across the globe who fear for the future of night-time observations. SpaceX is one of a few mega-constellation projects

that scientists fear will have an impact on ground-based astronomy. SpaceX is joined by Jeff Bezos's Amazon, which aims to build the Kuiper constellation, as well as Britain's

OneWeb among others. A 2020 report from the American Astronomical Society warned mega-constellations have the potential to contaminate astronomical data and possibly change forever how we

see the night skies. Since the inaugural launch of 60 Starlink satellites in May 2019, Stargazers have been reporting sightings of bright Starlink trains racing across the night sky.
