Starlink Night Sky Impact

For backyard astronomy, light pollution is far worse than starlink satellites - and I live in a rural area!

Have you ever actually had the night sky spoiled by a Starlink?

The truth is most people will never notice the Starlink satellites. Because light pollution obscures the night sky so much you can only see the brightest of stars and nearly nothing close to the horizon. How many kids are hearing about this comet in the sky, rush out at sunset, and are then disappointed to only see the haze of city lights?

You can’t see Starlink satellites in the night sky except shortly after sunset or before sunrise when they are still in daylight and you aren’t. They don’t produce visible light on their own.The night sky will be exactly the same otherwise so you’re doing a lot of handwringing over nothing.Real astronomers are complaining about many other things. Streaking in long exposures and noise in other spectrums. But that’s not relevant to anyone looking at the sky with the naked eye or an amateur t

The Starlink issue is only relevant to streaks on long exposure pictures. You can't see it with the naked eye. The ship has long sailed on general light pollution near urban centers. Nice if it can be reversed but going to unreasonable lengths to preserve everything how it was in the past is reminiscent of people who cover their furniture in plastic.

Would this be true from space also? Where there's no atmosphere and light pollution.

Are we ready to just see satellites and no stars anymore?

Is it possible to see Starlink satellites with your eyes?

Looks nice! Apologies if this is a very naive question, I'm not well versed into satellites so the only thing I can think about is Starlink. Will there be any light pollution? If so, how do you plan to address it?

It tells you when to go outside and look up to see the satellites as they pass over your houseThis must be made up. I have been assured repeatedly on HN that Starlink is a visual non-factor, and that nobody would notice them in the sky, they won't get in the way of astronomy, stargazing, or just enjoying the night sky like humans have done for thousands of years.
