✦AI Summary
Researchers have developed an ultra-black coating called Vantablack 310 that could significantly reduce light reflection from satellites. This innovation aims to mitigate the growing problem of satellite light pollution, which interferes with astronomical observations.
A satellite coating made from one of the world's darkest materials could help tackle a growing threat to astronomy, according to new research led by astrophysicists at the University of Surrey. With as many as 60,000 satellites projected to orbit Earth by 2030, scientists are searching for ways to reduce their brightness in the night sky.
