Why do images of earth from space not contain satellites and other space junk?
In: Earth Science
Space debris and the rising ammount of satellites is a real concern in astronomy, despite being small they have shinny surfaces that reflect the sun and can pollute the observations towards the space. But in the opposite case the Earth is reflecting much more light than any artificial satellite, effectively hiding them just like the sunlight hides all the other stars during the day.
