Starlink Satellites Disrupt Astronomical Observations and Cosmic Research
Scientists rely on tracking distant black holes via radio telescopes to precisely measure Earth's position for satellite navigation and Earth observation, but increasing human-made radio signals from wifi, mobile phones, and satellites are congesting the radio spectrum, threatening these critical measurements. To address this, international cooperation is needed to allocate more radio spectrum lanes and establish radio quiet zones, ensuring the continued accuracy of geodetic measurements essential for modern technology and infrastructure.
