Extended Data Fig. 8

Example of contaminated Hubble space telescope exposure simulation. The satellite trails were generated by simulating the orbits of N = 560,000 satellites. Exposure properties: Right ascension and declination: (RA = 179.1625, Dec = +55.1656). Limb angle: 31.63 degrees. Exposure time: 1309 s. Background: jbhq01020. PID: 12170.
