Twitter @cgbassa "Here's something interesting. Back in July, two @SpaceX #Starlink satellites changed their orbits and manoeuvred close to each other. The closest approach was on July 21st, when around 18:32UT the distance was only 80 meters!

How Realistic are the "Fixes" Recommended in this Article about Starlink Damaging Astronomy?
This article seems way biased to me, but this topic (usually with angry bias) seems to be making into the mainstream news more and more. How realistic are the 4 "fixes" mentioned in this article?https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/11/20/this-is-how-elon-musk-can-fix-the-damage-his-starlink-satellites-are-causing-to-astronomy/#7eb1ee54ccce1.) De-orbit the current batch of Starlink satellites, and place a moratorium on the launch of new ones until the proper modifications have been made.2.) Either redesign or coat the satellites to significantly reduce their reflectivity.3.) Provide real-time trajectory plans, predictions, and adjustment information for each satellite to observatories worldwide.4.) Provide funding to assist astronomers in the development of hardware and software-driven solutions to subtracting out as much of the satellite pollution as possible.It seems to me like only 2 and 3 are actually realistic.
