A recent incident involving a SpaceX Starlink internet satellite has captured the attention of many as it reentered the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a spectacular fireball visible across parts of the Midwest U.S. Observers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois were treated to a brilliant display as the satellite burned up during its descent.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This event highlights the increasingly frequent reentries of low Earth orbit satellites as part of growing satellite networks like Starlink. It’s a visual reminder of the scale and technological achievements of modern satellite internet projects. The spectacle underscores both the beauty and the intricacy of space technology, while also serving as a call to consider the sustainability and long-term impacts of these ever-expanding constellations.
