Space data centers could end stargazing as we know it

The proliferation of space data centers, filled with AI computers, threatens to obscure the night sky, making traditional stargazing nearly impossible. Researchers warn that the risks extend beyond terrestrial opposition to data centers, highlighting potential astronomical interference. This development underscores the need for careful consideration by companies and policymakers to mitigate these new celestial challenges, ensuring we don't lose our connection to the stars.
