\n Look! Up in the sky! It\u2019s a bird! It\u2019s a plane! It\u2019s hundreds of satellites cluttering up the galaxy.<\/p>\n

A plethora of massive internet satellites launched by eco-friendly billionaire Elon Musk are swirling overhead \u2014 and astronomers are trying mightily to figure out how to deal with the sun\u2019s glaring reflection off those man-made orbiters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s almost no place in the sky that you won\u2019t see a satellite going by,\u201d the American Astronomical Society\u2019s<\/a> Rick Feinberg told The Post.<\/p>\n

Already, the trails from these satellite necklaces have stained images taken by world-class telescopes. And skygazers are worried about the long-lasting effects on scientific research \u2014 especially with Musk\u2019s SpaceX, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos\u2019 Project Kuiper and OneWeb, a venture co-owned by the British government and Indian mobile giant Bharti Global, planning to launch tens of thousands of satellites over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s 3,236 satellites aren\u2019t off the ground yet and OneWeb has only about 70 out of 700 orbiting right now, but SpaceX already has 750 up and expects to eventually operate more than 40,000. SpaceX, which delayed a mission Friday<\/a> because of the weather, didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way to avoid an impact of the satellites on ground-based astronomy,\u201d said astronomer Jeff Hall, the director of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. \u201cEven if satellites are invisible to the unaided eye, they are blindingly bright to modern research telescopes.\u201d<\/p>\n

A particular worry is what the satellites will do to a decade-long project slated to start in 2022 by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory<\/a> in Chile. The 27-foot telescope, being built by the National Science<\/a> Foundation and the Energy Department, will be coupled to a gigantic digital camera that takes snapshots of the heavens every three days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like making a 10-year movie of the night sky,\u201dFeinberg said. \u201cIt\u2019ll be sweeping the sky \u2014 looking for asteroids, looking for supernovas, basically mapp<\/a>ing the universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The telescope\u2019s camera field is sure to capture satellite trails in part of every picture \u2014 and the pictures will be worthless if the streaks are too bright, Feinberg said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after SpaceX\u2019s first satellite mission, astronomers went to the company \u2014 and found a helping hand, Hall told The Post.<\/p>\n

First, engineers darkened parts of the satellites, which made the reflection fainter but not as faint as astronomers had hoped. Then, they installed visors to block sunlight from reaching the satellites and reflecting to the ground, he explained. Now, they\u2019re experimenting with the satellites\u2019 orientation, which should make them invisible to the naked eye at lower orbits and fairly faint at higher ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe higher the satellite, the longer it takes for the sun to set on it,\u201d Feinberg said. \u201cIt might literally be visible all night long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Astronomers, too, are brainstorming on how they can minimize the impact of the satellites. For example, Feinberg said, one suggestion is making more orbital information available in real time so researchers can simply avoid the satellites. Another is a computer program that essentially wipes out the trails from photos.<\/p>\n

And yet, despite all the headaches, astronomers are pushing forward. They\u2019ve had setbacks before, like when NASA\u2019s Hubble space telescope had a big failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been through hell,\u201d Feinberg told The Post, \u201cand we\u2019ve always found a way to bounce back.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
