Astronomers are raising concerns over SpaceX's Starlink V2-mini satellites, which are leaking more radio waves than earlier models. This unintended radiation is interfering with radio astronomy, impacting the ability to study faint cosmic signals from the distant universe.

The radiation coming from the V2 Starlink satellites already in orbit isn't minuscule - as mentioned above, it's up to 32 times stronger, and the research indicates it's over a wider range of radio frequencies - including more frequencies used by astronomers.

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.
