With what?
Your comment is too short.
They are going to need to adjust.
Edit: your down votes just illustrate your denial of what is happening.
Couple of days ago – [Growing Number of Satellites Will Leave Streaks on Photos from Space Telescopes](https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1peviz8/growing_number_of_satellites_will_leave_streaks/)
Actual article: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03953-1 ( https://archive.ph/Hp3ic )
> Satellite swarms set to photobomb more than 95% of some telescopes’ images
> Planned megaconstellations would contaminate the view of the cosmos of four orbiting telescopes.
The article on nature includes some useful infographics with the size of constellations and their altitude.
Just go to L2, launches got really cheap recently or a higher orbit. You need to plan your experiments with Starlink in mind. It is not impossible.
With the exception of JWST I assume because it’s located far away from Earth for that same reason.
Global cheap internet is really great for the world and is driving launch competition resulting in lower launch prices. We can push observatory satellites into higher or unique orbits that would be unaffected by terrestrial-focused satellites.
turns out when people look into the skies
they do not look at screens and do not watch ads
we can’t have that
We all knew it would happen eventually but it’s still frustrating.
Who wins when the fight is between science and capitalism?
Why are there so many articles concern trolling about private space travel and satellites? It feels really dishonest.
Imagine if so many Satellites are fired up into space that we become trapped here.
The irony.
The race for a science victory is getting tight
Is there no limit to the number of satellites we are going to allow as a species? You know they’re going to have orbiting advertisements soon. They’ll block out the damn moon and stars for profit. Why are we ok with it?
Well, my dumb brain for a second thought.and then..wait, what?? Ohhhh..you mean contam…like that…okay..phewww
As an amateur astrophotographer, I already hate the amount of editing I need to do because of satellites. And that’s just me trying to get images with no real benefit to anyone other than myself. Hindering science is obviously a whole other issue.
The satellite swarm is affecting space telescopes too?
They definitely affect terrestrial scopes even with the status quo as it is right now.
The way I get around it is to decrease sub exposure time, increase the number of those exposures, then stack them using a median like algorithm. This gets rid of all satellite streaks with almost no loss in data.
