Scientists slam LEO satellites for causing light pollution and hindering astronomers’ work

Increasing light pollution, produced by LEO satellites, is affecting astronomers who need unfettered access to dark night skies for their observations, scientists have argued. If not forced, "the skyrocketing space economy will not limit itself, to counter the new environmental and security issues raised by the new mega-constellations of satellites", the scientists wrote in a Comment published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
