World’s Largest Digital Camera Is Ready to Snap the Cosmos—But Satellite Traffic May Ruin the View
Designed to open a new chapter in astronomy, Rubin was imagined in the 1990s when the night sky was a much quieter place. Fast forward to 2025, and the skies above Earth have become a bustling highway of megaconstellations—massive fleets of internet-beaming satellites led by SpaceX’s Starlink and joined by others like Amazon’s Project Kuiper and China’s Geespace.
Artificial Eclipse: European Satellites Create First Man-Made Solar Eclipse
Imagine a solar eclipse happening not once in 18 months, but twice a week—and not from Earth, but from space.
Thanks to a groundbreaking mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), this vision is now a reality.
Two satellites flying in perfect formation have achieved something previously only nature could: creating artificial solar eclipses in space, on demand.
