I actually asked this question multiple times on HN and other places, asking "what if we take hubble and point it at earth? Now that you have that thought, dont you think there are many objects that are "micro hubbles" that are already pointed at earth? MIC bots downed me to heck.
Lets just imagine, in a sci-fi/Black-Mirror sense, that all the constellation class of satts (starlink, the EU one, the chinese/russian one) have additional sensors for 'ocular-patt-downs-from-sattelites' -- Lets get our hands on some of these units and inspect?
Is Starlink a classified object?
- sigstoat 4y ago> dont you think there are many objects that are "micro hubbles" you reply to a comment about the size of the mirror, and then ask if there are "micro hubbles". no, there literally cannot be a micro hubble, because the mirror is enormous. the mirror in hubble alone is larger than a starlink satellite https://lilibots.blogspot.com/2020/04/starlink-satellite-dimension-estimates.html https://lilibots.blogspot.com/2020/04/starlink-satellite-dim... https://www.nasa.gov/content/about-facts-hubble-fast-facts https://www.nasa.gov/content/about-facts-hubble-fast-facts
