SpaceX has been accused of allowing its Starlink satellites to impact astronomers' view of the night sky via sunlight reflections, but it's rare to see them from the other direction. In this case, a satellite in a higher orbit than Starlink captured an image just as the SpaceX broadband internet satellite was passing underneath. Starlink satellites have been criticized for exacerbating light pollution.
