"a bright visitor passing through the inner Solar System. Now, the orbiting satellites themselves only appear as streaks because of the long camera exposure, over 10 minutes in this case. On the contrary, to the eye, satellites appear as points that drift slowly across the night sky and shine by reflecting sunlight -- primarily just after sunset and before sunrise. The featured image was taken just before sunrise two weeks ago from Bavaria, Germany."
I guess the only ways to access the natural sky is to leave the atmosphere or to use AI to remove the trails.
Thankfully they're low enough orbit that their orbit would decay pretty quickly. It'd be a superb show as the sky lit up with millions of pieces of burning debris. Not sure what it would do for the atmosphere though. It would be a fair amount of metals being vaporised.
Pretty sure it would do absolutely nothing to the atmosphere
It would be like dumping a gram of metal shavings in the ocean.
