Starlink Satellites Leaking Signals Into Radio Astronomy's Protected Bands

SpaceX's Starlink constellation is emitting unintended radio frequency leakage that is interfering with frequencies critical to radio astronomy. These frequencies are internationally protected bands that astronomers rely on to detect faint cosmic signals. The interference poses a significant threat to ground-based observatories whose instruments are highly sensitive to even minor radio noise. Scientists and regulators are increasingly concerned that the growing number of Starlink satellites will worsen the problem over time.
