Megaconstellations could ruin nearly 40% of Hubble images, threatening key space science.
A new NASA-led study published in Nature warns that planned satellite megaconstellations, including SpaceX’s Starlink, could severely disrupt space-based astronomy.
If up to 560,000 satellites are launched, nearly 40% of Hubble images could be contaminated, with some missions like SPHEREx and China’s Xuntian facing up to 96% image interference.
Satellite streaks threaten scientific data, especially for asteroid detection and time-sensitive observations.
While some missions like James Webb remain unaffected due to their distant orbits, researchers urge industry and regulators to act to preserve the integrity of future space science.
