SpaceX confirms up to 40 of 49 Starlink satellites launched on February 3 will be DESTROYED following an intense geomagnetic storm - but reassures there's 'zero collision risk'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] No one saw it coming
  • Elon Musk's firm launched another 49 Starlink satellites into space on February 3

  • But it said up to 40 will re-enter or 'already have reentered Earth’s atmosphere'

  • They were hit by a geomagnetic storm, a disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere

  • The storm caused increased drag, preventing them from entering low Earth orbit
