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.

Starlink's new V2 Mini satellites interfere with radio telescopes on Earth with strong radio waves. Astronomers would be "blinded" by electromagnetic radiation.

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.

A new study conducted by the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) has warned that interference from the second (v2-Mini) generation of Starlink's

Experts warn Lofar telescope could be ‘effectively crippled’ by brighter second-generation V2-mini satellites affecting quiet skies

The excess radio emissions from Starlink satellites threatens to hinder observations through radio telescopes, astronomers in Europe say.

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.

Satellite swarms orbiting the Earth are leaking more radiation into protected wavelength bands than ever. In fact, the second generation of Starlink satellites – known as the v2mini and v2mini Direct-to-Cell versions – are leaking up to 32 times more radiation than their predecessor.
