Elon Musk's Starlink satellites could burn up the ozone layer, scientists warn

• Internet satellite networks re-entering the atmosphere en masse could damage the ozone layer, a study warns.
• Elon Musk's Starlink is by far the biggest player in this field.
• The effects could "push pause on the ozone success story in decades to come," the scientists said.

Internet satellite networks like Elon Musk's Starlink could contribute toward the depletion of the ozone layer, a new study claims.

Scientists at the University of Southern California's Department of Astronautical Engineering warned that the massive increase in low-earth orbit internet satellites could lead to damaging chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
