Extended Data Fig. 11

Example of contaminated Xuntian 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 = 274.8913, Dec = +55.8733). Limb angle: 30.70 degrees. Exposure time: 510 s.
