"SpaceX's Starlink Satellites: Leaking Radiation and Dodging Objects in Orbit"

Some SpaceX Starlink satellites are emitting low-frequency radio waves, which could potentially interfere with astronomical research, according to scientists who used the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope in the Netherlands to observe the electromagnetic radiation from satellites in large constellations for the first time. The radiation, detected from onboard electronics, was found to be within a protected band allocated to radio astronomy. While SpaceX is not violating any rules, the International Astronomical Union called for collaboration between satellite operators and astronomers to proactively mitigate the impact of unintended emissions on important astronomical projects. SpaceX has reportedly offered to discuss possible ways to address the issue and has already introduced changes to its next generation of satellites.
