As thousands of new satellites enter orbit, astronomers may face increasing difficulties in observing the cosmos, according to a study by the European Observatory of the South (ESO), which operates telescopes in northern Chile. ESO's study found that current proposals to launch more than 1.7 million satellites in orbit, including some very bright ones, would substantially undermine astronomical speech. Currently, there are about 15,000 satellite…

Satellites leave bright trails in images of the night sky as they pass through the telescope's field of view.
