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

Starlink and other satellite networks are vital for providing high speed internet to remote communities, but unintended radiation leakages are making life difficult for astronomers who need clear skies.

SpaceX's new Starlink satellites are so radio noisy that they could blind radio astronomy observatories to the universe's most intriguing phenomena, scientists say.

This problem is only getting worse as SpaceX, the company behind Starlink, continues to launch dozens of new satellites each week. The unintended emissions from these satellites may even exceed international limits for interference, which could have serious implications for future radio astronomy.

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

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,
