Concerns Mount Over Starlink's Impact on Space and Earth

Elon Musk's Starlink satellites, while providing valuable internet services globally, are causing significant interference with astronomical observations, particularly in radio astronomy. Scientists express concerns that the increasing number of satellites, which could reach 100,000 by 2030, are obstructing views of the universe and complicating the detection of faint signals from distant celestial objects. Efforts are underway to mitigate these impacts, including collaboration between SpaceX and scientific organizations to develop solutions like shielding and signal avoidance techniques.
