Tonight on #wfmu

6pm: Astronomy professor Sam Lawler describes the problems with Elon Musk's Starlink satellites on Techtonic, hosted by @markhurst. These problems include the streaks of light ruining astronomers' photographs, the increasing danger of collisions in orbit, the addition of toxic chemicals to the upper atmosphere, and the sheer scale of the "megaconstellation," which is planned to grow to tens of thousands of satellites.

9pm: Episode 5 of Antenna Alley, a new series of short, absurd yet factual insect-music adventures created by Irene Moon on Daniel Blumin's show. Tonight's episode features musical compositions created by LoVid + The Virus along with a reading by porest!

All times Eastern.
