Experts fear this might be the end of the night sky as we know it

Post by Brian »

"Experts fear tens of thousands of satellite launches into low-Earth orbit over the next few years will create a ring of space junk, blot out the stars for future generations... and even put us at risk of missing a rogue asteroid or alien contact."

Will the sky really be a "satellite motorway" by 2030?
