Extended Data Fig. 9

Example of contaminated SPHEREx exposure simulation. The satellite trails were generated by simulating the orbits of N = 560,000 satellites. Exposure properties: Right ascension and declination: (RA = 179.2857, Dec = −42.6098). Limb angle: 106.08 degrees. Exposure time: 112.5 s.
