🧪 Second-gen Starlink satellites leak 30x more radio interference and threaten astronomical observations, Dutch radioastronomer Cees Bassa writes. Apparently the Starlink redesign to minimise emissions didn't quite work out. They're 10 million times brighter than the faintest radio sources:

Observations with the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) radio telescope last year showed that first generation Starlink satellites emit unintended radio waves that can hinder astronomical observations.
