Satellite Pollution - night sky ruined by satellites :/ Amazing time-lapse

It's unimaginable how many artificial satellites are polluting our sky!
In this time-lapse video I show part of the western and eastern sky (field of view approx. 45 °).
The two photos at the end of the video are single frames exposed 150 seconds each. These photos explain why artificial satellites reflecting the light of the sun are a problem for astronomers and astrophotographers. Unfortunately, due to the construction of mega-constellations in orbit around the Earth, there will be more and more satellites.

The two objects you asked about were the Whale and Pup galaxies, and the Hockey Stick galaxy. I'm an astrophotgrapher too. I know a lot of DSOs.

[@grievous7253]

You can see many artificial satellites passing by at the same time👍👍 Hug from Portugal!!

[@megaseth419]

A lot of people complaining about these satellites for many different reasons. Yet, these satellites help us in many different ways.

[@violinfanatickamraz1403]

Awesome still is the pics of space. Despite the artificial satellites. I watch just to see the night sky. I hope I can get to the wide open spaces to see the night skies again au natural.

[@EdinMike]

The amount of Skylink Satellites I can track every minute is unreal…

[@tokageki]

Ruined is a strong word. I think it looks cool. Edit: ok yea, those last photos, I can see why it'd cause some problems

[@WindTreeStudios]

GREAT VIDEO! Very informative!!!

[@NickFriends]

I was recently watching the stars for the first time in ages and saw a satellite passing by (just with my eyes) and I was surprised at how fast it was, probably the fastest thing I have ever seen. Now after seeing this video I can totally understand how this can be a nuisance to some people

[@OtherworldlyYTP]

This is probably very annoying for people that need everything clean and in place. There’s literally junk steel and iron floating around our planet

[@pierholtrop5432]

Without that junk you wouldnt write this comment

[@OtherworldlyYTP]

@@pierholtrop5432 satellites that actually work are not junk-

[@JJRodin]

only light reinforcing steel and likely very little or any iron - alum yes alum reinforced composites yes, and supposedly at least DEorbit is a must for most satellites launched by usa, no clue about other nations.

Starlink satellites are polluting

[@supertuesday600]

All the 'satellites' in your video moved in straight lines, BUT what i witnessed strangely was a 'star' moving in multiple different directions across the entire sky and then back to its original location and remained stationary. I don't think satellites move like what i witnessed. What do you think?

[@keefmack]

Have witnessed the same several times.

[@megaseth419]

They're not all satellites..

[@catamax100]

Wow amazimg video..I wonder how satelites don't crash with each other

[@stevescott3032]

Thanks to this page I realize we aren't being invaded. I sat down in my lawnchair for the first time in a while and thought I was witnessing a very fast plane or UFO. it was actually cool/got the binoculars out and watched satellites for a half hour. We had amazingly clear skies in NEW HAMPSIRE and a dark sky so in the 30 minutes I saw at least ten. I made wishes thinking they were falling stars/meteors. That was more fun. If any wishes come true I'll be back..

[@detergent6477]

Great video and some nice pictures at the end.

[@chicogozosodecabellosedoso]

Sometimes I guess which objects are satellites and which are UFOs. I've seen thousands of satellites in my life including the starlink. But what about those little lights that look like flashing satellites but don't move?

[@megaseth419]

Not all satellites orbit. Some stay stationary. With that being said, not all of them are satellites..

[@AlekseyDe1]

Здравствуйте! Хорошее видео! Вы, умеете удивить подачей материала и разнообразием! Скажите какой объектив вы использовали? Или наверное вы снимали на P1000?

[@MrSuperMole]

Привет. Спасибо :) Я использовал объектив Samyang 24 мм. Камера Sony A7SIII.

[@gammr3227]

tbh seeing the tiny specks flying around adds to it in my opinion. But i can see why others hate this

[@AD_80s]

Ok but we ignore the objects in the background that are zooming by

[@keeplookingup911]

OMG ...so many of these... How we will discriminate between a satellite and a space rock.....it will be quite a challenge

[@marbasfpv4639]

These satellites should be possible to remove with post processing. Dont ask me which software that does this, but if it doesnt exist I'll develop it myself.

[@TheAirmanYouTube]

I have a question, would it be possible for us to see the satellite turn in a small radius?

[@wilburrodgers3570]

Hey mate what sort of camera do you use and what sort of price range are they please?

[@iwant2meetaliens]

I seen something like this tonight in my yard. Not much light pollution at all where I live so you can see the night sky greatly. I always thought they were ufos. I got my answer though.

[@fatalradius]

If they are visible to the naked eye, would they move this slow too?

[@Hells_Gate]

Well once the sun has set for a longer time this isn't a problem, only a couple of hours after sunset and a few hours before sunrise isn't it? You cant see the ISS late at night. I know the easiest response is no one wants to stay up to 1am to take pics....... but is there enough ambient light around very late to still cause this? Just asking caus I dont do photography...

[@MrSuperMole]

Satellites (including the ISS) can be seen at any time of the night - visibility depends on where they are flying in the sky and how high they are above the Earth. They just can't be in the shadow of the Earth :)

[@Fortnte123]

​@@MrSuperMole we cant see the moving things in light pollution anyways

[@colfw300]

1:31 i dont know if im dumb or not but i think the objects are the andromeda galaxy and triangulum galaxy?

[@estebansanchez5801]

So are satellites visible to the naked eye? I ask because I’ve been seeing what looks like a star moving across the sky but they don’t appear to be higher than 20-25k feet. They definitely aren’t airplanes. Maybe they’re higher than what they appear? They last using/visible usually for about 1-3 minutes. Some fade in and out and in and out but still visible and them completely disappear.

[@astroroadshow]

Yes your 'moving stars' are satellites. Most are irregular in shape. If it rotates then the brightness will alter over a regular period. They can seem to fade in and out. The Earth's shadow also plays a part. Depending uponthe satellite's altitude, your latitude and date, they can be seen to fade above you as they have entered the shadow. hope this helps. I even have a book out on the subject on Amazon.. Satellite Spotting and Operations Handbook.

[@MrGundestrup29]

Tks u

[@lintangky]

One day, i was see a white dot but move so fast. When i see it, the sun was going up. I think that is my first time seeing a satelite. Anyway, i dont live at city so there's a chance its really a satelite

[@MrSuperMole]

You've probably seen the satellite. Many of them strongly reflect the sunlight, so you can easily see them with the naked eye.

[@keefmack]

Some you can follow their entire trajectory while there are some that seem to just fade away yet with no clouds to obscure them. What causes this?

[@MrSuperMole]

They disappear because they fly into the Earth's shadow and also set themselves at a different angle to the Sun, thus reflecting its light in a different direction.

[@keefmack]

@@MrSuperMole My guess has always been a logical explanation. My wife and I have a camp that is very near a ‘dark sky’ designated state park. This past fall on a completely cloudless and moonless night in just a few hours laid in lawn chairs staring at the sky and there were hundreds of satellites, more than we have ever seen and didn’t see that many the next night. We could see many planes of course at various altitudes, small planes, jets etc. The satellites were crossing the sky very consistently horizon to horizon while others would get to near the same spot and just fade away. You could see stars behind those spots where they faded and some planes and other satellites that traversed very near the spot where the others disappeared. We would watch the trajectory to see if they would show up again if they continued the flight path and none of those that disappeared, no matter which direction, north, south east or west they were headed when they disappeared, ever were visible again. All disappearing in the exact same spot. If you held out your arm the spot was the size of your thumbnail. We were surprised how many satellites flew from all directions to that exact spot and disappeared. We jokingly call it the ‘vortex where satellites disappear. The very next night it never happened one time and we saw maybe 1/25 the number of satellites and the sky was the same, crystal clear night, no moon.

[@omarosama155]

@@keefmackman the night sky really fascinates me specially when some things just don’t have a clear explanation or any at all! Like some “stars” I’ve seen that stop and move pausing and resuming and not going in a clear orbit Turing almost 90 degrees even! It’s so weird and kinda scary too. I live in saudi where the skys are always clear and light pollution is easy to avoid just going in any roadtrip or small town that is surrounded by nothing other than an ocean of sand and a beautiful clear sky.

[@zuzannabaranski]

[@eds4wdcamping]

They just starting out to do some timelapse photography at night I was just wondering what camera you used as I've only got a GoPro.

[@JJRodin]

seems either Nikon P1000 superzoom 125x 1/2.3" sensor (small P&Shoot size) OR Sony a7sIII 35mm sensor, the later a very nice expensive $3k+ camera no lens, only 12mp so large pixel light gathering capability and great high ISO detail too.

[@omarurritzolarekalde4786]

[@Tbird761]

I don't really see a problem here. The question is if the services being provided by these satellites or the taking of pictures of space from the ground is more important. That question has an easy and obvious answer.

[@eddielloyd4070]

if all those satelites are out there how come they do not collide

[@MrSuperMole]

The satellites are small and the space around the Earth is huge. The orbits of the satellites are designed in such a way that they will not collide. But even so, there were satellite collisions several times.

Its not such a big problem with normals speeds. I see some satelittes flying by but thats doesnt disturb me. But it kinda sucks that we trade this into screens. I mean satelittes is used just for technologies like phones and tv mostly (internet). We pay our attention to wrong things.
