It's a shame these things are interfering with night sky observations to such an extent.
This article (external link) includes an image of the absolutely-worst effect I've yet seen from
Elon's ego-stroking venture.

I suspect this will only escalate, eventually to the point where scientists and
professional astronomers of land-based obversation will begin to get the
collective attention of worldwide government regulators.

Really, it's simple:
If these satellites were geosynchronous, much of this assault to the skies
wouldn't be the glaring issue it's become, due to them streaking around
our planet in an orbit.
