As communication satellites multiply in low Earth orbit, they pose a significant threat to astronomical observations. New research from NASA reveals that the bright lights from these man-made satellites could interfere with nearly all images captured by space telescopes. This surge in satellite numbers could hinder our ability to study the universe, raising concerns among scientists and astronomers alike. The implications for space research are serious, and it’s crucial for us to address this growing issue.
