Streaks of light from satellites are ruining space images. It will get worse as the number of satellites increases to half a ...

Astronomers have long been concerned about reflections from satellites showing up in images taken by telescopes and other ...

A new NASA-led study shows that the increasing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit could ruin up to 96% of images from some orbiting telescopes and space observatories. “The urgency starts in the ...

Light pollution from the exploding number of satellites orbiting Earth is making it harder to peer into space.

Satellite streaks could spoil about one in three Hubble images, even when the telescope stays above Earth's weather.

"The natural question that comes up is: how many more space telescopes will be affected when all these constellations are ...

Fleets of satellites interfere with snapshots taken by Earth-bound observatories. But a new study suggests these orbiters will also contaminate observations by four space telescopes, including Hubble ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. A dramatic rise in the number of internet satellites ...

A NASA study predicts that 96% of the images from the ARRAKIHS mission will be contaminated by the light from the more than 500,000 devices that Starlink and other megaconstellations intend to launch ...

One of the reasons astronomers like to put telescopes in space is that the “seeing” is better. With no turbulent atmosphere in the way the stars shine steadily, rather than twinkling as they do when ...

There are about 15,000 satellites orbiting Earth. Most of them, like the International Space Station and the Hubble Telescope ...

This poses "a very severe threat" to space telescopes, the study's lead author, Alejandro Borlaff of the NASA Ames Research Center in California, told AFP. For the research, the astronomers simulated ...
