[00:00:00]You know, for thousands of years, our skies looked like this. Even 150 years ago, you could stand in the middle of London and see thousands of stars. But today, you can only see about 15. The stars are disappearing. And this is happening way faster than you even know.

[00:00:16]A recent study found that the sky is getting almost 10% brighter every single year. It has doubled in brightness since 2018. Do you know how crazy that is?

[00:00:26]More than 99% of all Americans and Europeans live under light polluted skies. And it gets even worse. Today, there are about 15,000 satellites in orbit around the Earth. By 2030, only 4 years away, there will be over 100,000.

[00:00:41]When this happens, one in every 10 stars that you see in the sky will actually be a fastmoving satellite, no matter where you are on Earth. And all of this comes as AI companies are running out of power on Earth. So, they want to head into orbit for unlimited solar energy. I mean, SpaceX alone just filed for permission to launch 1 million AI data centers into orbit. Children born today might not ever get to see the Milky Way with their own
