U.S. Company Launches Huge Satellites. Astronomers Are Not Amused. 

American company AST SpaceMobile has launched a prototype satellite, the BlueWalker 3, that's so large it has astronomers worried their view of the night sky will be substantially affected. Several similar satellites are supposed to follow. You can read more about it here. I talked about light pollution and the problem caused by Musk's StarLink satellites in this video.
