That's BS. Our lives are already disrupted enough by artificial blue light at night. We don't need private companies commercializing this.
Please take a few minutes to act:
Email the American Astronomical Society at [email protected] and ask whether it will seek full FCC review and a stay of Order DA 26-706.
Support DarkSky International’s campaign:
https://darksky.org/tag/reflect-orbital/
Ask Earthjustice to examine potential legal action:
https://earthjustice.org/about/request-legal-assistance
Contact your elected representatives and demand legislation requiring environmental review before any orbital illumination system can operate:
https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials
Suggested message:
“Please oppose the operation and expansion of orbital illumination systems until an independent environmental assessment examines circadian health, wildlife, astronomy, aviation safety and involuntary light trespass. Darkness is a shared natural resource, not an untapped commercial market.”
