Astronomers are raising concerns over SpaceX's Starlink V2-mini satellites, which are leaking more radio waves than earlier models. This unintended radiation is interfering with radio astronomy, impacting the ability to study faint cosmic signals from the distant universe.

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.

This problem is only getting worse as SpaceX, the company behind Starlink, continues to launch dozens of new satellites each week. The unintended emissions from these satellites may even exceed international limits for interference, which could have serious implications for future radio astronomy.
