Astronomers are becoming increasingly concerned about light pollution in the night sky caused by the growing number of satellites, and also space junk, in low-Earth orbit.
Related Videos In a series of papers published in Nature this week, astronomers highlighted how the situation is set to deteriorate further unless regulations are put in place to reduce the number of launches that put small satellites into low-Earth orbit. Amazon also has plans for a similar space-based internet service with Project Kuiper and is set to launch more than 3,000 satellites in the next decade.
Astronomers are also concerned that deploying more satellites in low-Earth orbit increases the risk of collisions that will create even more light-reflecting space junk.
