Elon Musk now claims SpaceX's Starlink satellites will have 'zero' impact on astronomy, but research contradicts him

Musk said that some of the concerns may have been caused by satellites slightly below their intended orbit.

"I've not met someone who can tell me where all of them are, not even one person. So I mean it can't be that big of a deal," he added.from researchers the European Southern Observatory published last week found evidence to suggest that large, sophisticated telescopes such as the state-of-the-art Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile could "severely affected" by the advent of large fleets of commercial satellites populating the night sky.

"We're running a bunch of experiments to for example paint the phased array antenna black instead of white, and we're working on a sunshade," he said. that this would be a complex operation that wouldn't necessarily solve the problem of the satellites interfering with astronomical readings."The bottom line is that if [Musk] is serious about these measures and serious about protecting the optical sky, then he should stop launching until these measures are fully designed, tested, and proven to work," Dr Dave Clements, an astronomer at Imperial College London, told Business Insider.
