Earlier today I gave an astronomy- and policy-focused talk on obtrusive space advertising in the Dark & Quiet Skies context for the long-running Future In-Space Operations (FISO) Telecon series.

The (audio) recording and my slides are available on: https://fiso.spiritastro.net/telecon/Barentine_4-16-25/

Thanks to Sharmila Kuthunur for this comprehensive Scientific American story on the status quo regarding space advertising, the potential harm to astronomy it poses, and what astronomers are doing to address the issue.

Kudos to @iau_org for including a mention of obtrusive space advertising in its statement during this week's meeting of the Science and Technology Subcommittee of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

Obtrusive space advertising will impact the visual appearance of the night sky, interfere with ground-based astronomy, and it may have currently unknown environmental effects. But there's still a chance to get out ahead of (and even prevent) this problem.

"The American Astronomical Society has called for a global ban on intrusive space advertising through international treaties or laws. It also asked the US delegation to the #UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer #Space to initiate the process." (via @ust_magazine)

Good on @royalastrosoc for coming out with a strong and unambiguous statement opposing #SpaceAdvertising, "recognising it as detrimental to the science of #astronomy and to our shared heritage of the night sky".
