As private companies launch vast networks of satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO), the astronomical community faces an ...

Along with our incredible astronomical developments comes brand new responsibilities as well. Now, we not only have to think ...

Researchers from the U.K. plan to launch a CubeSat covered with a newly formulated "hull-darkening" Vantablack paint into ...

Vantablack 310 is one of the darkest paints ever, and it could be the key to eliminating light pollution caused by satellites ...

The rising issue of satellite brightness was hindering astronomical research, and scientists came up with an innovative ...

Surrey NanoSystems, Vantablack's creator, announced that it's tackling the reflectivity of satellites that threatens ground-based astronomical research.

Surrey NanoSystems' Vantablack 310 absorbs 98% of light, helping telescopes & satellites reduce light pollution for deeper space exploration.

When Vantablack 310 is applied to a surface, it reflects only 2% of incoming light, meaning it absorbs the remaining 98%.

There are more than 8,000 satellites in low Earth orbit, out of the 13,648 objects (at the time of writing) catalogued by the ...

Light streaks caused by passing satellites mar images taken by the world's most expensive telescopes. The problem is set to ...

The paint, called Vantablack 310, could reduce the amount of light reflected by satellites in orbit down to just 2% of what is reflected by uncoated satellites, virtually erasing the pesky streaks ...
