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?"
