FCC Approves Reflect Orbital's Space Mirror Satellite That Astronomers Hate
The FCC says the most controversial aspect of Reflect Orbital's Earendil-1 satellite, the giant mirror, falls out of its authority since the regulator mainly focuses on radio spectrum.

Kyle Horton@kyle-horton.bsky.social · 9mo agoWe churned through over 100 million radar samples to quantify the structure of migration through the airspaces across the United States: Just out in Ecology esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration
🚨 Tuesday 19 10:30 #EOU2025 Come and join us for the symposium on #bird #migration and #ALAN, aiming to discuss fundamental research and policy. @baptischmi.bsky.social @carburt.bsky.social @jlyr.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social #ornithology #aeroecology #movementecology #lightpollution
Still in awe of these experiences. The sounds, the dances, and the drama! Nothing like watching these leks up close.
Kyle Horton@kyle-horton.bsky.social · last yr.Spring is for the grouse and chickens! Colorado leks have been 🔥🔥🔥 (w/@carburt.bsky.social). Greater Sage-Grouse and Greater Prairie-Chickens 📷
Birds will be arriving soon! This map shows peak migration dates across the US modeled using radar data. Keep in mind, the dates represent peaks, but migration usually plays out across a couple of weeks, so estimate ± 1 week on either side of the dates on the map for max migration activity.
Happy to co-organise a symposium on migratory birds and artificial light at night: from research to policy. #ornithology #aeroecology submit 👆🏽your abstract before March 15 😀 #eou2025

Please share with your birdy and ornithology connections. My summer Field Ornithology course is open for enrollment. We live and study birds on an island in Maine for two weeks!!! DM me with any questions. #ornithology
Excited this paper is out as part of our NSF project to create technological advances to move toward sustainable lighting policies with @kyle-horton.bsky.social and Jeff Kelly! New improved bird migration forecasts led by @mikkojimenez.bsky.social and Ali Khalighifar.
