Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:SpaceX’s Starlink satellites were known to interfere with visible light astronomical observations, but many have now been found to be interfering with radio observations by leaking radio emissions. While this is unintentional, unchecked leakage of radio waves could block observations that go back to when the universe was only a billion years old. Tingay’s team conducted the largest survey of Starlink satellites at SKA-Low frequencies. If left unchecked, radio emissions from Starlink satellites could get in the way of monumental discoveries. “Future mitigation of the UEMR from Starlink satellites will be key for ultra-sensitive experiments with the SKA,” the researchers said.
