Satellites are Spoiling Images Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope
The images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are increasingly being spoiled by thousands of satellites streaking through the sky.

Astronomers have raised concerns over a new satellite that is now one of the brightest objects in the night sky that could also hinder astrophotographers.
Starlink satellites are normally invisible to the eye but photographer and aurora tour guide Ronn Murray captured 49 of them as they sailed through the beautiful northern lights in Alaska.
Roving photographers who live in recreational vehicles (RV) can now receive Starlink internet as Elon Musk's SpaceX has launched a new product specifically for vans.
Hundreds of astronomers, satellite operators, and dark-sky advocates recently joined forces to call out a problem that impacts all three groups: the growing number of SpaceX 'Starlink' satellites in orbit, and how these 'constellations' could actively hurt scientific progress and have a 'fatal' impact on some forms of astrophotography.
As NASA recently warned, the light pollution caused by the boom in satellites is indeed "wreaking havoc" on astrophotography. Photographer Daniel López tried to shoot a telephoto timelapse of Comet NEOWISE this week but was thwarted by SpaceX's Starlink satellites.
A couple of days ago, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk unveiled a plan to help keep the company's thousands of Starlink satellites from becoming a very noticeable blight on the night sky, a complaint we've heard from astronomers and astrophotographers alike.
While photographing the Aurora from above the Indian Ocean, astronauts on the ISS accidentally captured something else as well. Just like Earth-bound photographers, they're now having to deal with photo bombing by the many 'Starlink' satellites that SpaceX has launched.
If you were shooting astrophotography over the past couple of nights and noticed a strange line of bright dots traveling across the sky, you might have spotted SpaceX's Starlink satellites. That's what Marco Langbroek caught on camera yesterday in the video above.
