The researchers published a photo of BlueWalker 3 moving along the night sky to prove their point.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem, according to the scientists, is that BlueWalker 3 is essentially a very powerful space cell tower. The device is designed to transmit radio signals and provide satellite communications to conventional smartphone owners. The bottom line is that these radio signals could interfere with the use of radio telescopes on Earth, the IAU believes. In response to the scientists&#8217; statement, AST SpaceMobile said:\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #td_uid_1_69d459c4c016e
