Key points:
-For the first time, scientists have proof Starlink satellites are interfering in their studies of the universe
-In the coming decade it is predicted somewhere there will be between 100,000 and 500,000 more objects in space
-Regulation is struggling to keep up with the rapid advancements in space technology
