Poor humans! Thanks for this interesting post! Best wishes Mat I’m very impressed, we ruin the Earth itself each one day.. but this is not enough, we wanted to ruin also the space!! Poor humans!

Thanks for this interesting post!

Best wishes

Many of these satellites are depicted as large as the state of Florida. If they were shown in true scale, they would appear little more than dust (if they could be seen at all). What's more, the fact that most of this space junk will burn up in earth's atmosphere means the majority of the mess up there is self cleaning.

I and my husband are incredibly fascinated in the universe, My husband and i really like toward start looking just into the stars inside each night. At this time there can be founda variety of planets just as part of this sun system along with incredible lots more during this big galaxy.Can possibly anybody indicate my sister and me some fine web pages so where we will be able free download a small number of videos and graphics? It might be extremely fine incase everyone posses some good infos to obtain me personally. Howdy!

It is for illustrative purposes. Why do people assume that computer-generated images are always to scale? The density is accurate if you (correctly) ignore the scale and realize that at 800 km away, a satellite is not visible to an unaided view. Check out http://www.n2yo.com, see where the ISS is, and perhaps you can grab a pair of binoculars and see the tiny moving dot. Obviously it is not to scale. It is for illustrative purposes.

If this is true then we should see these satellites at night circling the earth like the rings of Saturn. "Photorealistic" might indicate the level of detail (I can see the solar arrays on the satellites) but certainly is not a good indicator of the actual scale. If I can see the solar arrays of one satellite from (I'm guessing from the image) tens of thousands of miles from earth's surface, well, I'd say I either have the best vision in the universe, our space agenices build satellites the size of Pittsburgh, or perhaps the creators of this image have a proportion disorder!
