Researchers concerned at proliferation of commercial satellites in Earth’s low orbit- Check survey

[ad_1] Scientists and researchers are concerned about the proliferation of tens of thousands of commercial satellites in Earth’s low orbit. A large number of satellites in the future could interfere with work to discover near-Earth or Earthbound asteroids and comets. Here is what the survey shows. Space is full of objects including planets, asteroids, meteors. As earth has a gravitational force it even attracts or pulls objects that are nearby hence leading to asteroids, meteors, among others entering the planet's atmosphere. However, what can be noted here is that not every object heading towards Earth is able to hit its surface, however, they can still be dangerous. Therefore, research organisations keep an eye on the obj...
