Starlink and other low-orbit internet satellite companies are pumping thousands of satellites into space each year in an attempt to cover the entire planet in internet connections. Some of these satellites have already caused issues for astronomers, and new research suggests that they might create more problems in the future with the ozone layer and, potentially, the magnetic field. Recent reports have claimed that 4 to 5 Starlink Satellites burn up in the atmosphere each day, leaving behind metallic dust. How alarming is this?
