ABC report on Starlink satellites

ABC has released this report on Starlink and its effects on astronomy. It is not only visual/astrophotography that is affected but also Radio Astronomy.
The uplink and downlink transmitted frequencies of these satellites have already started to compromise the Square Kilometre Array in WA.

Elon Musk has only released 120 of his satellites so far but another 30,000 is planned to follow.
