The increasing number of satellites orbiting Earth is adding to the problem of light pollution, which is the excessive or inappropriate use of artificial light that affects the natural darkness of the night sky. While light pollution from Earth is being managed through regulations, light pollution from space—mainly from satellites—is harder to control. Legal experts are working on ways to address this growing concern. In some countries, like Japan, there are natural parks that are designated for astronomical observation, aiming to preserve the night sky's darkness. One of the most spectacular annual events in the night sky is the Perseid meteor shower, which typically occurs in August. However, in the coming years, observers might find the night sky less clear. Instead of dark skies filled with stars, they may see a grey or orange sky with only the Big Dipper constellation and moving points of light—these are satellites orbiting Earth at low altitudes. The increasing number of satellites is making the night sky progressively brighter and more difficult to observe. Currently, there are two major sources of light pollution: one from Earth and the other from space, particularly satellites. While regulations on Earth-based light pollution are relatively well-established, those for space-based sources are still evolving. In France, the National Association for the Protection of the Sky and the Night Environment (ANPCEN) describes light pollution as the degradation of the night environment caused by artificial light, which can affect ecosystems and human health. Over the past decade, France has implemented various regulations, including the Environmental Code and a 2022 decree that sets guidelines for outdoor lighting and designates 11 exceptional astronomical observation sites. Internationally, the "International Starry Sky Reserve" (RICE) label, awarded by the International Dark Sky Association, recognizes areas with exceptional night sky quality and encourages efforts to reduce light pollution. While there are seven RICE sites in France, they lack official state recognition, which limits their influence on public policy. A senator has recently asked the minister for ecological transition about granting RICE official status and expanding regulations to cover private lighting as well. France is considered one of the countries most advanced in the fight against light pollution. Other countries regulate the issue through technical standards, lighting thresholds, or by designating national parks as "International Dark Sky Places," as in Japan. Meanwhile, light pollution from space is caused by satellites that reflect sunlight. Many of these satellites are unintentionally visible from Earth due to their reflective materials, and the number of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is growing rapidly. This has already increased the brightness of the night sky by about 10% compared to natural levels, affecting both professional and amateur astronomers. Regulating this issue requires cooperation between astronomers, satellite companies, and governments. Organizations like the IAU CPS are working with satellite operators to develop technical guidelines, such as limits on satellite brightness. They also engage with international bodies like the ITU and UNOOSA to promote best practices for sustainable space operations. Meanwhile, new technologies, such as solar reflectors in space, raise legal questions about the regulation of light pollution and the use of sunlight in space. These issues highlight the need for enhanced coordination and active citizen engagement to protect the night sky for future generations.
