"It won't be a problem!" It will. "They won't be visible!" They will. "Astronomers will just have to get used to it!" No. We won't. No company - and no-one, no matter how rich - has the right to change the nature of the night sky - or vandalise Nature itself.

A major motivation in running a Citizen Science project with ASAS-SN variable stars would be to find "oddballs" like "Zachy's Star" (below), and other such weird and rare cases where having all-sky, well-sampled data makes all the difference. #HelloDarknessMyNewFriend

Supernova remnant E0102 was produced by a massive star explosion in a nearby galaxy. X-ray data from Chandra have helped confirm that most of the oxygen in the Universe is synthesized in massive stars. The amount of oxygen in this ring alone is enough for 1000s of solar systems!
