15 minute exposure.
400 Satellites.
And impossible situation for science.
3/4. En esta imagen se muestra el mismo campo estelar del Cometa C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) sin limpiar.

En solo 15 minutos de adquisición, contamos 1659 trazas de satélites (unos 400 individuales).

Sobran las palabras para describir la contaminación del espacio cercano.

The Memory of Water is both the spectacular name of a play by Shelagh Stephenson and a real thing chased after by Earth scientists who pry out ancient ice cores, including a 6 million yo sample from Alan Hills Antarctica. https://cosmoquest.org/x/evsn/2025/11/26/water-holds-six-million-year-history/
