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.
There were articles a while back stating that the target albedo had been met with the newer satellites.
I don’t recall the specific details, though.
