NEW 13,000 Satellites and Counting: How We’re Managing Space Traffic

What was that strange light in the Southern Ontario night sky?
Professor Elaina Hyde, astrophysicist at York University, joins Shane to explain the mystery behind a recent rocket launch sighting—and takes us far beyond it. They explore the astonishing 13,000+ satellites now orbiting Earth, the risks posed by space debris, and how the European Space Agency’s CREAM project is tackling the growing challenge of orbital traffic.

From the thrill of backyard stargazing to the high-stakes work of keeping space safe, this conversation brings the cosmos down to Earth with insight, clarity, and just the right amount of wonder.
