SpaceX satellites could blight the night sky, warn astronomers

Elon Musk's Starlink internet satellites 'have no public consensus and may impair view of the cosmos'

Mega constellations of human-made satellites could soon blight the view of the night sky, astronomers warned following the launch of Elon Musk's Starlink probes last week.

The first 60 of an intended 12,000 satellites were successfully blasted into orbit on Thursday by Musk's company, SpaceX, which plans to use them to beam internet communication from space down to Earth.
