More satellite questions if anyone has the time to answer… Just basing these questions on some “space junk” animation that I once saw. I was stargazing recently and spotted a satellite – which is pretty common. But not nearly common enough to correlate with all the space junk out there. Do most satellite just not have lights? And is that stuff always colliding together? Seems like that would be inevitable unless there’s some master orbit plan that keeps everything in its own lane up there.

Space junk animations are not to scale. Space is flippin huge and satellites are small compared to space. Even buss sized satellites are small compared to how much room there is. Plus satellites are at different altitudes. In fact you could spend your while life on a satellite and never see another satellite.
