A poster with a big picture of a night sky covered by satellite streaks, and the following text: Public Astronomy Talk Tuesday, May 14th, 7:00 pm Myhal Centre 150, U of T (55 St George St) Telescope observing & tour to follow! Twinkle twinkle little... Starlink? Why are satellites becoming easier and easier to see in the night sky, and why are astronomers so incredibly worried about this? This talk will discuss how thousands of new satellites cause problems for astronomy and the environment, and it will suggest ways that everyone can push to protect our shared sky and Earth's orbit for future generations. Speaker: Dr. Samantha Lawler Professor of Astronomy, University of Regina
