•Brightness of first Chinese broadband constellation satellites alarms astronomers
89% Informative
Chinese satellites are the first of a constellation that may ultimately consist of more than 14,000 satellites.
The study found the brightness of the Qianfan satellites ranges from magnitude 8 when low in the sky to magnitude 4 when overhead.
That makes the satellites, at those higher elevations, bright enough to be seen by the naked eye.
Radio astronomers have reported interference at low frequencies from Starlink satellites.
