Internet mega-constellations aren’t just “more bars” on your phone, they’re bright scars across the sky. Telescope images are getting slashed with satellite trails, and we’re losing our clean window on the universe one streak at a time. #Science #Astronomy #Space
By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.
