Is STARLINK Ruining Hubble Images?

- Can satellites like Starlink interfere with images from the Hubble Space Telescope? What about other space junk like rocket bodies?
Imaging space from the surface of a planet comes with certain inconveniences. Occasionally an airplane crosses the field of view, and often a satellite. They may not ruin a final image, but they certainly add up.
But did you know even the Hubble Space Telescope isn’t immune from unexpected things in its images, including Starlink!
Some of the objects are natural, like asteroids trailing across the field of view. There are two main motions at work here, the asteroids moving through space, but also the motion of Hubble as it orbits the Earth and tracks the field of view.
But satellites and other space debris interfere too! Hubble orbits about 340 miles above Earth’s surface, well above the lowest of the Low Earth Orbit satellites like the International Space Station. But there are still satellites higher up that it has to contend with. In the Hubble Archive there are plenty of examples of exposures that were photobombed by satellites like this Starlink satellite that passed about 80km above Hubble in November of 2020. There are also discarded rocket bodies, and some that haven’t been identified.

Seeing Starlink for the first time was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, looks like some alien technology 😆
One and the same thing
I was vacationing in Shelby, Montana and seen it while partaking in herb and it scared us. Lol
Same 😊
My first was last night
Saw it a couple of nights ago. Strangest thing I'd ever seen.
Man, they're one of the earliest photobomber then😆
I totally thought Hubble was way further out. And that starlink was way closer
isn't there a way to clear out the space junk in earth's orbit.
Vacuum it
Vaccumm cleaner
Yup the wormhole
Yes but it would cost money. Nobody cares. The future people can clean up our mess. If we don't render the planet inhospitable first.
it is really hard to clean that mess thing that human left in earth orbit. there are over 40.000 space debris, and they are small like tennis ball, it's really hard to catch these as they approaching with speed 27000 km/h. The only thing is only wait until gravity pull them back to earth and burn up in atmosphere. but it will take years, even hundred years i think as in space nearly vacuum and no air to slow them down.
Space debris 😢
Interesting. Starlink is 15 km higher than Hubble. I'm in a small camp, I have starlink and am an astrophotographer. I haven't found starlink satellites to be much of an issue when compared to older comm sats. Never thought about Hubble. Time to move it higher by 35 km. 😊
It is not only ruining Hubble images, but images for amateur and professional astronomers. Not only that, radio telescopes are also being affected.
Thank you for this informative video.
But the JWTS was just hit by a micrometorite, so pros and cons to positioning
It was planned to happen. All they have to do is reposition a mirror by a couple nanometers
From an article NASA's official blog: "Impacts will continue to occur throughout the entirety of Webb’s lifetime in space; such events were anticipated when building and testing the mirror on the ground."
Its cool that it works in the van allen belts but less so that its not immune to space junk
Imagine china and russia have their own starlink project , it would be disaster for astronomy
JWST is apparently not immune to micro-meteor strikes, though :)
Yikes, indeed!
Is anything out there?
Nothing is, even earth is hit regularly my meteors
Wonder if that Sat Train will plow into a major city . . .
Now the moon have space junk 🤦♂️
Alvin Toffler predicted in his book "Future Shock" that things would change so fast that we would suffer from this future shock, which was stress induced. However, I am Future Bored, because it's not happening fast enough! Lol.
how did the starlink satellite get that high up
idgaf just give me good internet
4,100 Starlink satellites worse than my 10$ a month internet. They are just expensive space's junks
No, because a Starlink satellite will be wasted after 5 years
Just move Hubble to higher orbit than Starlink.
How are you supposed to move it
I can careless about images from a place we will never make it to..the satellites are more important to the world than an image..the images are cool but it does nothing to actually benefit humanity at the present time..
Ya someone tell the devs to delete it plz
I'm glad to hear the Webb telescope is far away from all this. But why is it taking so long to become useful? It was calibrated long ago and it is now cooled to absolute zero. Yet no images.
There are some images popping up from the telescope but you have to wait till july for its mission to start
They aren't giving us the images
You are getting anime, not images
Probably because the images we are allowed to see are easier to edit to fest they want us to see instead of what actually is
Technically not
Cartoons for adults
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢
Already man has junked up space...
all cgi
Interesting
Um, which program contributes more to the human race? Be serious. It's either shiny pictures of things that are forever out of our reach, OR internet access in areas that could be used for saving lives and countless other things. Ooooooooo pweddy pictures
I don't know if forever is true.
@@johnbutler1279 Honestly, I hope you're right
🤲😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
🦅💕
Well then you need to clean your junk up, that's what that's saying. Humans, yiu cannot and will not be allowed out into deep space, I assure you.
Bs
But who cares lol…. The James web???
