#Satellites in #Earth #orbit play a major role in everyday life on Earth and make the global #connectivity via our media possible in the first place. However, the increasing number of satellites in #lowEarthorbit (#LEO) can also #brighten the #nightsky in places and interfere with #astronomical #observations. Degen et al. (2026) recommend #retroreflective #coatings on satellites to #redirect #sunlight in order to reduce brightness.
