Satellite megaconstellations will mar astronomers' view of heavens, study finds
From Space.com:
"Two European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes will be "moderately affected" in their observations by the rise of big, new satellite constellations like SpaceX's Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper, a new study finds, while wide-field telescopes will be "severely affected.""

Not much of a surprise here, but it's good to have studies confirming what we "know" to be true.
