There's a Giant Problem With SpaceX's Starlink Satellites
Astronomers' attempts to peer into the earliest reaches of the universe could be threatened by thousands of SpaceX Starlink satellites leaking radio emissions that ruin observations made with highly sensitive telescopes. As New Scientist reports, a team of researchers led by Curtin University radio astronomy professor Steven Tingay tracked the signals of almost 2,000 Starlink satellites, with the help of a prototype telescope from the Square Kil…
Starlink floodes the sky of unwanted radio emissions Starlink satellites, deployed in mass by SpaceX to provide global Internet access, emit signals well beyond their expected broadcasting spectrum. A team of engineers from SKA-Low, the low frequency component of the SKA radiotelescope, conducted a one-month study of nearly 76 million images. As a result, 112,534 Starlink satellite intrusions were identified, representing 30% of the captured ima…
