Satellite #megaconstellations will threaten space-based astronomy: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09759-5 -> Planned satellite constellations may swamp future orbiting telescopes: https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/12/planned-satellite-constellations-may-swamp-future-orbiting-telescopes/ - planned orbital observatories would see satellites cross nearly all of their images.

Modern astronomy has a new giant among its ranks.
NASA has completed the assembly of the
Nancy Grace Roman
