Space Telescopes Are Now Overwhelmed by Satellite Trails
Unfortunately theres more bad news to report on the clear skies front. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv from researchers at NASAs Ames Research Center, reports that 73.3% of images the agencys new SPHEREx space telescope collected between May and September of last year were contaminated by at least one artificial satellite trail. And its only going to get worse from here.
