Scientists say Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are 'blinding' ability to see stars, hindering research
- The second generation V2-mini Starlink satellites emit unintended radio waves up to 32 times brighter than previous satellites, hindering radio astronomy, according to observations with the LOFAR radio telescope.
- Cees Bassa from ASTRON states that these satellites emit stronger emissions across a wider range of frequencies compared to the first-generation satellites.
- Professor Jessica Dempsey warns that if SpaceX does not address this issue, it could become "an existential threat" to ground-based astronomy.
