Over one million satellites in orbit raise "existential threat" alarm
Plans to launch more than one million new satellites into Earth's orbit have prompted scientists and astronomers to sound the alarm, warning of an "existential threat" to astronomy and space safety. The sheer number of objects would drastically increase the risk of collisions and contribute to the severe light pollution of the night sky. The warning comes as multiple commercial operators race to build out large satellite constellations.
