Changes on the Sun
The Coronal Hole has closed, though Sunspot AR4493 is coming back to life.
INCREASING CHANCE OF SOLAR FLARES: The magnetic field of big sunspot 4493 is complexifying again. After some simplification yesterday, it has once again developed a unstable delta-configuration that poses a threat for strong solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-class flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on July 24th.
Same Ole Thing on Earth
A NEW CATEGORY OF SATELLITE REENTRY EVENT: SpaceX’s Starship 13 megarocket is on the launch pad in Texas, waiting to lift off later today (Friday, July 24th at 5:45 pm CDT). If the launch goes as planned, it will cement a new category of satellite reentry event — rapid-fire, deliberate, and very massive.
Satellites reenter Earth’s atmosphere all the time — a few per day, typically. It’s a slow drizzle of human tech raining back onto our planet. Most are old first-generation Starlinks.
Starship 13 will do something very different. It will deploy 20 V3 Starlinks — “super Starlinks,” roughly seven times the mass of the first-generation models. All 20 will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere within hours of liftoff. It is a “swarm reentry,” pre-planned by SpaceX.
Why would SpaceX do this? It’s a test. The new satellites are so massive they need a megarocket like Starship to reach orbit, and the main purpose of this flight is to prove Starship can deploy them. But because the test flight is suborbital, the satellites fall back almost immediately.
If you add up the mass of all 20 satellites it comes to ~38,000 kg or about 80 times the normal daily mass of Starlinks reentering the atmosphere. Because V3s are rich in aluminum, their sudden reentry will create an enormous spike in aluminum oxide deposition– the very compound that studies show can deplete the ozone layer.
Flight 13 is not the first time Starship has dumped tons of Starlink-mass into the atmosphere in a single day. It is actually the fourth, starting with Flight 10 back in August 2025. However, those previous flights deployed dummy satellites presumably containing much less aluminum. That makes #13 unprecedented. You can watch the launch here.
SpaceX’s Starship 13 Megarocket Trash
SPACEX LITTERING OUR SKIES AND COMPROMISING THE EARTH
I’m old enough to remember when it wasn’t a crime to throw trash out the car window. It was common practice in the 50’s, and took years to undo the damage.
Throwing trash out of your car window is illegal, harmful to nature, and dangerous. Key problems include fines, road hazards, and environmental damage.
Citizens Fines can range from $100 to over $1,000 depending on the state or country. Many places fine the owner of the car even if they did not throw the trash.
One man’s trash thrown out of SpaceX’s megarocket threatens the whole world and every living thing in it.
WILL THERE EVER BE ANY CONSEQUENCES? I DON’T HAVE ANY WORDS FOR WHAT I’M FEELING. MY HEART IS SCREAMING FOR MOTHER EARTH!!!
