Astronomers Warn New Satellite Network Likely to Interfere With Observations

Astronomers Warn New, Satellite Network Likely , to Interfere With Observations. Astronomers have warned that a sprawling new satellite network used to connect with mobile phones is a threat to their work and humanity's view of the universe. CNET reports that astronomers say the AST SpaceMobile Bluewalker 3 satellite appears brighter than most stars in the night sky. . The 64-square-meter array of solar panels and antennas was launched on September 10. . A study by astronomers at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) found the satellite to be almost as bright as the 15th and 16th brightest stars. . CNET reports that the real concern for astronomers is that the Bluewalker 3 is a test model for over 100 Bluebird satellites the company intends to launch. . BlueWalker 3 is a big shift in the constellation satellite issue and should give us all reason to pause, Piero Benvenuti, Director of the IAU Center for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference, via CNET. While astronomers have expressed concerns over other mega-constellations of satellites like SpaceX's Starlink, AST SpaceMobile's satellites pose an additional problem. While astronomers have expressed concerns over other mega-constellations of satellites like SpaceX's Starlink, AST SpaceMobile's satellites pose an additional problem. The Bluebird satellites emit strong radio waves which could cause further interference with astronomical observations. . Astronomers build radio telescopes as far away as possible from human activity, looking for places on the planet where there is limited or no cell phone coverage. , Philip Diamond, Director of the Square Kilometer Array Observatory in South Africa and Australia, via CNET. New satellites such as BlueWalker 3 have the potential to worsen this situation and compromise our ability to do science if not properly mitigated, Philip Diamond, Director of the Square Kilometer Array Observatory in South Africa and Australia, via CNET

NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon if It Beats the US to Its Surface

NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon , if It Beats the US to Its Surface. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson gave an interview with Politico that was published on Jan. 1. He said that China's military aggression in the South China Sea could allude to the future of the moon. Specifically, if China makes it back to the moon's surface before the U.S., it may attempt to claim it as its own territory. . It is a fact: we're in a space race. And it is true that we better watch out that they don't get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research. , Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico. And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, 'Keep out, we're here, this is our territory.' If you doubt that, look at what they did with the Spratly Islands, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico. China's new space station, Tiangong, was recently completed. Beijing intends to conduct three moon missions over the next decade. The country also claims it discovered a new potential energy source on the moon. NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2025 with its Artemis 3 mission that it is working on with SpaceX. I ask the question every day: 'How is SpaceX's progress?' And all of our managers are telling me they are meeting all of their milestones, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico
