Satellite Companies Like SpaceX Are Ignoring Astronomers’ Calls to Save the Night Sky

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-21 12:55:01

There are more than 12,000 active satellites circling Earth at the moment, a growing figure that has nearly doubled in less than three years. This recent boom in the satellite industry has been a major headache for astronomers, with bright satellites appearing as streaks in telescope images of the universe and tarnishing views of the night skies. A new paper reveals that satellite constellations are brighter than the recommended limits set forth by astronomers, with only one company adhering to

Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest foldable yet, but that’s not why it matters

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest book-style foldable in the world, but you probably couldn’t tell. It’s just 0.1mm thinner — that’s four-thousandths of an inch — than the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 7. If that’s a difference you claim to perceive, then I’m afraid I simply don’t believe you. I’ve put the V5 side by side with the Find N5 and I can barely feel the difference, let alone see i

Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-22 04:30:00

There is a spec war going on among companies to claim the crown of thinnest foldable. Phone manufacturers are playing with fractions of millimeters to boast about their phone’s thickness. Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this.

But in 2019, SpaceX began deploying its internet-beaming Starlink constellation, and the astronomical community started to sound alarm bells. The satellites were orbiting too low and reflected too much sunlight, leaving bright marks in telescope images. A year later, Rawls and a handful of her colleagues were the first to make a scientific assessment of the satellite streaks’ effect on astronomical observations, using images from the Víctor M.
