In 2022, SpaceX thought they’d have a routine launch of their latest batch of Starlink satellites. But of the 49 they sent to orbit, 38 ended up falling out of the sky! What went wrong? Predicting space weather and exactly how it affects the Earth turns out to be a bit complicated.
Correction:
0:20 This is actually not a photo of Starlink! This photo is most likely a long exposure of an airplane crossing the night sky.
