Action of automorphisms of a $K3$ surface on its $(-2)$-curves

Consider a complex $K3$ surface $X$ and take its group of automorphisms $Aut(X)$. It is a known fact that the action of $Aut(X)$ on the set of rational $-2$ curves of $X$ has only finite number of orbits.

Questions. What kind of ideas one has to use to prove this fact? Is there some nice exposition? Does this fact follows somehow from global Torelli theorem for $K3$'s?
