Titled Infection, Ryan Pagelow’s cartoon of a planet Earth sick with satellites is a timely critique of the rapidly growing number of satellites in low Earth orbit. The SKAO, through its co-hosting of the IAU Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (CPS), and its presence on the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), is working to address this issue and its impact on astronomy with our international partners.
