From the post: "When I was a child in the 1970s, seeing a satellite pass overhead in the night sky was a rare event. Now it is commonplace: sit outside for a few minutes after dark, and you can’t miss them.

Thousands of satellites have been launched into Earth orbit over the past decade or so, with tens of thousands more planned in coming years. Many of these will be in “mega-constellations” such as Starlink, which aim to cover the entire globe."

At least, this is hopefully a temporary problem; new satellites can be modified to eliminate the leakage, and the current satellites are only good for a few years before they re-enter and burn up.
