We often look up at the night sky and imagine it as this vast, infinite expanse where there is plenty of room for everyone. But a terrifying new analysis has just shattered that illusion, revealing that the space directly above our heads is rapidly turning into a congested, high-speed highway with no speed limits and very few traffic rules.
