On 6th May 2024, I was trying to observe the bright comet Pons Brooks in the evening twilight. Over ninety minutes every single one minute frame I took of the comet had at least one trail caused by a Starlink Satellite. This symbolises the world in which we live. A planet whose nocturnal environment is being shaped by folks who care more about money than the sky.
