A nice paper by @asborlaff.bsky.social showing that launching telescopes to space doesn't necessarily solve the light pollution issue from satellites.
These are satellite trails seen by NASA's SPHEREx space telescope, which appear in 73% of all its images. Eek.

SPHEREx is going to assemble a 3D map of half a billion galaxies to probe theories of the beginning of the universe. Not all that modest!
A modest space telescope with an innovative design is about to search for traces of a key moment in cosmic history: the first tiny fraction of the first second following the Big Bang.
