Extended Data Fig. 10: Example of satellite-contaminated ARRAKIHS Space Telescope exposure simulation.

Example of contaminated ARRAKIHS Space Telescope exposure simulation. The satellite trails were generated by simulating the orbits of N = 100,000 satellites. Exposure properties: Right ascension and declination: (RA = 249.7058, Dec = −52.0297). Limb angle: 25.94 degrees. Exposure time: 600 s.
