Cosmic Rays Thru The Lens
There's a community for studying these images and the re-occurring, familiar shapes that appear.
Ignore Garuda.
NASA is not happy about cosmic rays in images, and wrote a guide for how to spot comets and ignore artefacts with the Sungrazer program.
A proposed cosmic ray scrubbing program will use basic old interpolation to compare one image to the next and remove imperfections.
The scrubbing program could possibly remove transiting objects and features that were actually there. Like the rays, they were there.
I think removing them is unnecessary, since every object in orbit can/should already be accounted for and labeled, and the cosmic rays are not really in the way of anything.
Except maybe right after a solar flare when it's just too many of them.
'Cosmic Rain' - That's just cool .
I'm hoping NASA won't remove the 'cosmic rays' from the images.
