Space telescopes photobombed by satellite streaks

Included in the study was NASA's SPHEREx space telescope, the European Space Agency's proposed ARRAKIHS system, and China's planned Xuntian space telescope, as well as Hubble, all of which orbit at altitudes between about 450 and 800 kilometers. The findings suggest about 39.6 percent of Hubble's images and 96 percent of images from the other three telescopes would be affected by interference from satellites.
