- A rough estimate suggests that space missions and ground-based observatories emit greenhouse gases equivalent to more than one million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Among the most intensive sources are the Hubble Space Telescope and, on Earth, the Very Large Telescope. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01612-3 4 comments space
