SpaceX is deorbiting about one or two satellites daily, and that number is only going to grow. What that means for our planet isn't entirely clear, says Harvard astrophysicist and space tracker Jonathan McDowell.

McDowell commented on the massive volume of reentering Starlink satellites to science news site EarthSky last week.
