Radio waves from Elon Musk’s growing network of satellites are blocking scientists’ ability to peer into the universe, according to researchers in the Netherlands. The new generation of Starlink satellites, which provide fast internet around the world, are interfering more with radio telescopes than earlier versions, they say.

The latest generation of Starlink satellites is emitting radio waves 32 times stronger than previous versions, with experts calling the interference a serious threat to ground-based astronomy

Elon Musk has solidified his dominance in space, with nearly two-thirds of all active satellites now under his control. This development follows the launch of SpaceX's 7,000th Starlink satellite, bringing the total number of active satellites to 6,370.

New Starlink satellites’ radiation leaks are 30 times as large as those emitted by older satellites, scientists discover

Wave Goodbye Elon Musk's Starlink communications satellites aren't just physically junking up Earth's orbit, but are, according to researchers, actually interfering with radio telescopes. As the BBC reports,

The thousands of satellites in orbit are blinding radio telescopes and could be hampering astronomical research.

SpaceX’s ever-increasing network of satellites is still blocking researchers’ ability to view distant galaxies, planets, and stars, according to experts.
