Starlink Satellites' Radio Leaks Threaten Astronomy and Weather Forecasts
Specialists at Australia's SKA report that Starlink satellites are emitting unintended radio signals, disrupting radio astronomy, especially in protected bands, with potential impacts on observing the early universe. Despite efforts to avoid interference, the increasing number of satellites and their unintended electromagnetic radiation pose significant challenges for radio telescopes, highlighting the need for better regulation and mitigation strategies.
