Starlink satellites are blinding astronomers' view of space DW 09/20/2024
Briefly

The Starlink network, consisting of over 6,300 satellites, emits unintended electromagnetic radiation, creating radio noise that hinders astronomical research sharing the universe's mysteries.
The second-generation Starlink satellites emit UEMR at levels 32 times brighter than the first generation, significantly worsening the radio frequency interference for astronomers.
Benjamin Winkel pointed out that the new generation of Starlink satellites, while improvements were made on the first, has unfortunately increased brightness, further complicating observations.
This interference is 'blinding' the research community, meaning radio telescopes are overwhelmed by signals, making it impossible to discern the actual cosmic signals.
