I saw a surprisingly bright line of many satellites with the naked eye last night. Space junk is indeed a growing problem.

That line was probably a Starlink launch spreading out, what's more surprising to me is that in what you linked the image is from Hubble. I didn't think space telescopes would have the same issue ground based telescopes did.
