Ground Telescopes can Adapt to Satellite Megaconstellations if They get Accurate Telemetry Data
05 Dec 19:00:09 | Universe Today
The growing population of communication satellites such as Starlink and OneWeb is posing challenges for Earth-based astronomy facilities. Since such constellations will not be going away soon, astronomers want to find ways to work around the issue. It’s not going to be easy, considering that thousands and thousands of low-Earth satellites (LEOsats) could potentially be …

How Do Stars Get Kicked Out of Globular Clusters?
04 Dec 19:00:05 | Universe Today
Globular clusters are densely-packed collections of stars bound together gravitationally in roughly-shaped spheres. They contain hundreds of thousands of stars. Some might contain millions of stars. Sometimes globular clusters (GCs) kick stars out of their gravitational group. How does that work? There are a few things that can cause GCs to eject stars. Gravitational scattering, …
