No. They are relatively close to earth. And earth is huge compared to satellites.

@G00GLE But that closeness also makes them more visible, and brighter in the night sky.

Were you talking about hubble by saying this statement?
G00GLE · 22-25, M
@ABCDEF7 yes. The satellites are small and close to earth. Hubble is further away. Hubble don't care. The post isn't about stargazing.

@G00GLE How is it related to hubble? What hubble has to do with size and distance of satellites on earth orbit?

@ABCDEF7 hubble is further out than, for example, gps satellites.

Remember, whatever you writes, speaks your level of intelligence, and everyone reads and understands that. You may opt to remain silent.
