There's been a huge increase in the number of satellites and satellite constellations in operation, but that doesn't mean it's easy for devices here on Earth to access the data networks many of those new satellites operate.
|
|
Why it matters: SpaceX, Amazon, OneWeb and others are betting big on these global broadband constellations in the hopes that the fleets of small satellites will help tap them into underserved markets and increase their bottom lines.

A handful of studies examined the risks of collision with Starlink and other proposed mega-constellations before they launched, but it wasn't a lot of data, and there haven't been many studies about the impact to astronomy.

That's why, Mr. Punyet argues, the two men, though separated by an ocean and the disruptions of World War II, were able to create bodies of work, both eventually called "Constellations," that mutually resonate with such power.

Two years later, MoMA helped him smuggle 24 of the 23 paintings in his "Constellations" series out of wartime Europe in a diplomatic pouch, and the Pierre Matisse Gallery exhibited 16 of the works at a time.

Seen from below, the work, named Stonehenge Stellaris, offers a surreal take on the heavens — an abstract map of Manhattan depicting Stonehenge NYC's 23 rental buildings as constellations, where your location is indicated by a company logo.

Such "mega constellations" of satellites are expected to bring rural, remote, and underserved areas unprecedented high-speed internet access that traditional internet satellites can&apost provide, but such efforts are a cause for concern for some experts.

"At its brightest, comet C/2016 U1 NEOWISE will pass through the constellations Ophiuchus to Serpens Cauda and Sagittarius, and is best visible in the dawn sky 12 degrees from the [sun] at maximum brightness," reports Universe Today.

On these nights, I might glimpse a spray of meteors as they streak across the sky, pick out a distant planet amid clumps of stars, or maybe just identify a few familiar constellations, all simply by looking up.
|
|
A study done by NASA argued that 99 percent of all of the satellites in these massive constellations must be taken out of orbit within five years in order to keep the risk of in-space collisions low.
|
|
Although it too was named for the constellation where it appeared to originate, the constellation, Quadrans Muralis — which was not included in an official list of modern constellations that the International Astronomical Union assembled in 1922, EarthSky says.
|
|
Combined with the decreasing size of satellite payloads, this has created a new and promising era for small craft, which can be launched in great numbers — as we're seeing in the many promises to deploy constellations thousands strong.
|
|
The big picture: While these specific satellites may not be that big of a deal in the long run, the large constellations they portend could be an unexpected contributor to light pollution in the night sky for everyone.
|
|
A host of companies believe the better way to connect the estimated half of Earth's population that's still offline is to launch "constellations" of smaller satellites into low Earth orbit, around 100 to 1,250 miles above our planet.
|
|
But for the day in, day out maintenance of constellations where you're sending a GPS satellite up or a constellation satellite up, using commercial spaceports could probably fit that bill very well and at a lower price point.

In Mr. Payne's "Constellations," the glorious two-character play staged on Broadway last year with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson, he applied string theory and quantum mechanics to endlessly fragment and refract the basic boy-meets-girl plot.

The Western & Southern Open in Mason, Ohio, the biggest event in the weeks before the United States Open, attracts dazzling constellations of top men's and women's stars each year to the fourth-largest tennis tournament in the country.
|
|
If you're comparing us to the low-Earth orbit constellations, … their satellite is orbiting the Earth once every 90 minutes or so, so you need thousands of satellites to provide a commercially viable service that doesn't have gaps.
|
|
Safely flying hundreds or even thousands of satellites in tandem is technically difficult, and it's unclear how expensive the broadband service provided by these constellations — which will likely cost billions of dollars to build — will be for consumers.
|

Harrison's glacially beautiful 2015 piece "Just Constellations" made the deepest connection to the place: as luminous chords accumulated, it was difficult to tell which pitches were coming from live singers and which were coming out of the walls.
|
|
It seems our need for structure and our pattern recognition skill can be rather overactive, causing a tendency to spot patterns - like constellations, clouds that looks like dogs and vaccines causing autism - where in fact there are none.

"De Mistura seems to be aiming to turn Geneva III [peace talks] into a mechanism for longer-term discussions on several tracks, which would allow for factions to interact in different constellations and on different topics," Lund wrote.

"All of this plays into the scenario in which we're envisioning a very significant increase in the number of launches, as these very large satellite constellations are deployed and as more nations get involved in space activities," says Vedda.
|
|
A generation of entrepreneurs forged in Silicon Valley—and backed by some of its venture capitalists—are launching highly capable new devices ranging in size from shoe boxes to fridges and flying them in constellations of dozens or hundreds.
|

Michael Harrison's striking "Just Constellations," which the group performed in the Board of Officers Room at the Park Avenue Armory on Thursday, incorporates "nom-tom" syllables — meaningless words used by Indian classical vocalists to create a particular vocal timbre.

This is a very business centric aspect of the ESA's roadmap, which is focusing on positioning Europe as a top-tier telecom provider by encouraging the deployment of satellite "mega-constellations" in Low Earth Orbit to create a SpaceDataHighway.

Kestler prefers to work alone, often barefoot, so that she can walk across her long wooden worktables, which are almost always laid with colorful constellations of paper, surveying her cutouts from above and adjusting their placement as she goes.

But rather than dwell on the past, the artist is intent on looking ahead, toward a utopian vision of the future that inspires his otherworldly Cloud Cities sculptures — geometric constellations of various sizes composed of glass and iridescent plexiglass.

The growing constellations could pose a serious problem to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (formerly known as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope) — a 27-foot telescope under construction in Chile that will scan the entire sky every three days.
|
|
These companies are blazing the trail for orbital internet — a business that Amazon and Apple are also pursuing — and upsetting astronomers, who fear that large constellations of internet satellites will imperil scientific study of the solar system and stars.
|

Although that was hardly all he did — he introduced "stabiles" in 222, and also made jewelry, paintings and works on paper — he nonetheless surprised himself when his "Constellations" opened at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York in 2000.
