I've been watching satellites at all hours of the night for decades. You might want to double check with reality on that sunrise/sunset claim.

You forgot about the radio spectrum pollution which affects the night and day sky right now .. and for the foreseeable future given the lack of progress in addressing that leakage.

The topic is seeing the night sky.

Parent might be talking about amateur radio astronomy which I agree might be straying from the main argument

Professional radio astronomy - SKA et al.

eg: Scientists analyze 76 million radio telescope images, find Starlink satellite interference 'where no signals are supposed to be present' (2025)

and the topic is Starlink (and other sat constellations) and their impact on the sky (visible and non visible).

The message I responded to was about visible light:

"Will this be the last generation to remember the night sky?"
