Over 5% of recent Hubble Space Telescope images examined in the study contained Starlink satellite trails.
Starlink satellite trails can be found in over 5% of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope since 2021.The effect of satellites on our view of the universe is getting worse, an examination of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed.
The findings may confirm the fears of astronomers who argue that satellite constellations such as SpaceX's fleet of over 3,500These fears were initially confined to astronomers working with ground-based observatories, but as humanity's exploitation of the space around our planet has burgeoned and plans for so-called"mega-constellations" of satellites have progressed, those concerns have spread to colleagues working with space-based instruments.
To reach their findings, a team of researchers including over 11,000 citizen scientists from the Hubble Asteroid Hunter project scoured through images produced by theThe team found that 2.7% of Hubble's images with a typical exposure time of 11 minutes were crossed by satellites. Additionally, the probability of finding satellite trails in Hubble images has increased with time from 3.7% in 2002 to 5.9% in 2021.
