A lot has been happening in #space recently: @SpaceXStarlink project, the @SpaceForceDoD, people afraid about Kessler effect etc I decided to document myself and it does play a lot in my usual theme of #datasphere and its #decentralization. Thread to read ! 
the following article, In French, prompted my research. There are actually spying activities in space between nations/companies. Satellites get close to one another and listen in. nextinpact.com/news/108662-je…
Interesting ! A lot is happening up there we don't really think about.

There are about 2000 active satellites around earth, most in #lowearthorbit (below 2000km) and a fair share in #geostationary (36000 km). But space is much more crowded than that (lot of debris). This map shows you many objects and their orbit maps.esri.com/rc/sat2/index.…
