The excess radio emissions from Starlink satellites threatens to hinder observations through radio telescopes, astronomers in Europe say.

Experts at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) claim that second-generation, or "V2," Mini Starlink satellites emit interference that is a staggering 32 times stronger

Experts say that these developments signal the need for regulations for satellite operators, just like there exist regulations for radio pollution from ground-based electronic sources like cellphone t

SpaceX's new Starlink satellites are so radio noisy that they could blind radio astronomy observatories to the universe's most intriguing phenomena, scientists say.

Satellite swarms orbiting the Earth are leaking more radiation into protected wavelength bands than ever. In fact, the second generation of Starlink satellites – known as the v2mini and v2mini Direct-to-Cell versions – are leaking up to 32 times more radiation than their predecessor.
