Why are satellite trails not continuous lines

Is the camera exposure taking a few seconds of break between takes that get stacked later with some "missing" moments in between?

Yeah, I kinda get why astronomers are not particularly happy with satellite constellations.

I fear this is only the start of it. A minimum of 3-4 constellations more will probably be launched in the near future (Russia, China, EU).

Their obvious dual-use nature makes them tempting, and a military target if a large conflict will take place in the near future. I hope their lower orbit will help any space junk burn up fast.

I'm rebuilding my RSS feed collection, and having pretty astronomy pictures is a fine addition. Thanks!

So cool! Zoom in to find out: https://zoomhub.net/0w8pN

Hot take: We're in the first stages of building our own Dyson sphere and therefore comets are only useful in the context of capturing them for that purpose.

;)

if i could imagine what a Sophon from 3 body problem would look like. this is kind of it.

Is this all / mostly Starlink?

That looks so cool, ngl!
