ESO Warns Satellite Constellations Pose Threat to Ground-Based Astronomy

A new study from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) indicates that the planned launch of nearly two million satellites could have severe repercussions for ground-based astronomy. The report suggests these constellations could significantly disrupt scientific observations by increasing light pollution and interference. ESO is advocating for strict regulatory measures to safeguard the dark night sky, which is crucial for astronomical research.
