Could Orbital Data Centers Ruin the Night Sky? - WSJ — The Taurid meteor shower lights up skies across Vancouver Island, Saskatchewan, and Metro Vancouver

The Taurid meteor shower is expected to illuminate skies over Vancouver Island, Saskatchewan, and Metro Vancouver with bright fireballs this week. Meanwhile, concerns are growing over orbital data centers potentially impacting the night sky's natural beauty. In Hawaii, students are capturing stunning images of the night sky, while Thailand's Chiang Mai Airport cancels flights to accommodate a sky filled with lanterns.
