Some poor astrophotgraphers in the US can blame not themselves but the Chinese Government for ruining their astro pictures! What happened was that there was a streak of light in the skies over parts of the US on a Saturday night about a week ago. Why? Because they launched the Zhuque-2E rocket to put 6 satellites into space. They decided to dump the fuel and this caused the photo busting light to spoil so many of those beautiful shots that take hours to create.
Some photographers actually just looked up and enjoyed the spectacle above.
It's getting harder to photograph the night sky! We're battling light pollution increase, Musk's satellites and now China's fuel...what next?
