Why do images of earth from space not contain satellites and other space junk?
In: Earth Science
They’re fucking tiny… Photos taken from geostationary profit that’s high enough to see the whole earth have a resolution of at best 1/3rd of a mile per pixel, meaning youd really need a sat half a mile across to spot at low profit, low earth says that photograph for maps and such are below most other days and statistically it’s near impossible another would be in shot during a photo, shots taken from space stations are wide angle so a sat would have to be within a km or so to be visible and there just isn’t a density of days like that
