ATLAS OBSCURA COURSES
Ask a Cemeterian: The Business of Burials
Cemeteries are, for many of us, sites of mystery, grounds belonging to those who lived in the past. In this course led by historian Dr. Elise M. Ciregna, we’ll demystify these American landscapes of death, exploring their role as vital, evolving, and organic spaces that have historically and contemporarily been important places for the living.

A Palace for an Indecisive King
The architects of this 19th-century castle seemed to have trouble sticking to a style.

Skywatching Blinded by the light: How bad are satellite for astronomy? (Alan Dyer/VW Pics/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Over the past few years, our planet has become increasingly encircled by Starlink, OneWeb and other "megaconstellation" satellites. Yes, the emergence of those megaconstellations offers great benefits for humanity. But in a wait-a-minute pause, there are also substantial costs, including a growing imposition on astronomy. That's the view of David Koplow, the Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.
