Taranaki night sky photo revealing satellite swarm goes viral

Original: brendan larsen

New Zealand photographer Brendan Larsen captured a night sky image over Taranaki showing dozens of satellite trails, and the picture has spread widely online. The image highlights the growing number of Starlink and other satellites crowding low Earth orbit, and has reignited debate among stargazers and astronomers about light pollution and the impact of mega-constellations on the night sky.

Why now: The image went viral because it makes the sheer scale of satellite congestion visible in a single photograph.
