Elon Musk is planning to station a network of 42,000 Starlink satellites in orbit above Earth. The aim of the SpaceX project is, eventually, to provide the entire world with high-speed internet. Though there are only 120 Starlink satellites currently in orbit, they're already wreaking havoc among the astronomical research community, obscuring the view of the night sky.
