    Planned 1.7 million satellites ‘devastating’ for astronomy: Study

    A study by the European Southern Observatory warns that 1.7 million planned satellites will have 'devastating consequences' for astronomy by brightening the night sky and disrupting telescopic observations. Researchers recommend limiting satellites to 100,000 to preserve ground-based astronomy, citing threats from projects like SpaceX's Starlink and Reflect Orbital's 50,000-mirror satellites.
