Astronomy and Satellite Constellations

Zoom

You may have heard there are thousands of commercial satellites in low-Earth orbit and many more vying to launch soon. These satellites all reflect sunlight to various degrees and are changing the game for all ground-based observers worldwide. Join Dr. Meredith Rawls, astronomy researcher at UW/Rubin Observatory and satellite mitigation leader at the IAU CPS (cps.iau.org), to learn what is happening, how astronomers are responding, and what you can do to help preserve and protect our skies.
