Now if you haven’t heard this yet, in late May of this year, SpaceX launched a group of sixty satellites into low Earth orbit with the goal of providing global internet coverage, something I support, but it comes with a lot of problems. These satellites that were launched this year was the first of what could be up to a total of 12,000 satellites and so far the FCC has approved almost 1,600 to be launched and operated.
But what effect will this have on our ability to do astronomy research from the ground? Astronomers are growing more concerned. Can a balance be made?
