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.

    They do also use an antireflective coating/paint on the satellites now, which had helped quite a lot.
