SpaceX Satellites Are Ruining Observations With "Unintended" Radiation (futurism.com)

A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting "unintended" radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.

These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That's because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

Musk is a fucking hack. Please stop this ding song from ruining more stuff.

Maybe you could stop foaming about Musk just because SpaceX is mentioned. SpaceX has made incredible innovations for space launches and allowed thousands of projects that otherwise would never have been able to afford a launch.

@MaggiWuerze @SpaceMonk like shooting a car into space

Yeah, but noone ever shot a comparable payload that cheaply into space.
