The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile has released its first images, showcasing detailed views of nebulas, galaxy clusters, and thousands of asteroids, highlighting its potential to revolutionize astronomy by providing comprehensive, high-resolution sky surveys over the next decade to study dark energy, dark matter, and near-Earth objects.
A new algorithm has been developed by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) to remove satellite trails from images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Despite the increasing number of artificial satellites brightening the night sky and photobombing telescope images, the study found that not one Hubble science program has been affected by satellite trails. The algorithm is efficient at erasing even weak trails that are hard to see with the naked eye, and the team is confident that they can remove the effect of satellite contamination in telescope images.
