Scientists, looking deep into space, have long voiced their concerns that satellites are encroaching on their ability to study the cosmos.
  • Australia has one of the darkest skies in the world, but that is changing.
  • In the next decade, there will be between 100,000 and 500,000 objects in space.
  • Regulation has not kept pace with the rapid development of space technology.
  • Scientists are concerned that Starlink satellites are interfering with their exploration of the universe.
  • The study showed that the radiation of Starlink satellites goes beyond the band allocated to them.
  • This discovery is important given the growing number of satellites orbiting the sky.
  • The rules for this unintentional radiation in space are not very clear.
  • SKAO is discussing with Starlink what can be done about the interference generated by its satellites.
