This is a pic of Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS), trapped in a celestial cage of light streaks formed by LEO satellites racing across the sky in this 10-minute exposure image.
It is a stark example of how billionaires, one in particular, are destroying the night sky and astronomy, in the same way they have been ravaging mother Earth and the atmosphere.

This is with ~10,000 orbiting satellites. Now, imagine a million of them, each with a solar array ~10x larger, as proposed by SpaceX for orbital AI data centers. They will destroy humanity itself.
The horror! The horror!

Note that to the human eye, these satellites appear as points of light moving slowly across the sky.
I can write a lot more about these monstrosities, but this picture speaks louder than words.
