Hey stargazers! Ever wonder why we're sending more telescopes to space like JWST? It's not just for the cool factor—ground-based ones are facing tough times thanks to skyrocketing pollution. Light pollution from cities is ramping up by about 10% a year, creating "skyglow" that washes out faint stars and galaxies. But the real kicker? Satellite constellations like Starlink are streaking across images, brightening the sky by 2-3 times with reflected sunlight, and even jamming radio signals. Space-based scopes dodge all that Earthly mess for crystal-clear views. Time to advocate for darker, quieter skies? What do you think?
