Could Orbital Data Centers Ruin the Night Sky? - WSJ — Vancouver Island, Saskatchewan, and Metro Vancouver experience bright fireballs from the Taurid meteor shower

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.
