Despite the fact that Starlink satellites frequently make the news, there are a lot of strange facts concerning Starlink that are overlooked.Among the most well-known spacecraft in the entire globe are SpaceX's Starlink satellites.  Currently, there are more than 3,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, and SpaceX intends to launch a significant number more. While many other uses for the ground-breaking constellation are both planned for and already in place, the satellites' primary purpose is to bring broadband internet to isolated or underserved areas.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           While Starlink satellites frequently garner media attention due to the staggering number of launches SpaceX manages each year, as well as the effects the satellites have had on astronomy and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there are a tonne of bizarre facts regarding Starlink that go unnoticed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         1. STARLINK IS AVAILABLE IN ANTARCTICA                                                                                                                                                                                                    Even in some of the most isolated regions of the world, like Antarctica, Starlink internet service is accessible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       At the research outpost at McMurdo Station, scientists of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) have conducted tests. "USAP scientists in #Antarctica with NSF funding are ecstatic! With a newly installed user terminal at McMurdo Station, Starlink is testing polar service to increase bandwidth and connectivity for science support "In September 2021, the American National Science Foundation announced through Twitter.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         With its maiden launch from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base in September 2021, SpaceX started launching satellites into polar orbit. In July 2022, Musk tweeted, “These polar launches will provide full coverage of Earth (where authorised by local government)”.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       2. THE NAME "STARLINK" COMES FROM THE BOOK "THE FAULT IN OUR STARS"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Elon Musk, the inventor and CEO of SpaceX, claims that John Green's 2012 book "The Fault in Our Stars" is where the moniker "Starlink" originated. If anyone is curious, the name was inspired by The Fault in Our Stars, Musk wrote in a tweet in 2018.

The protagonist of the book is 16-year-old Hazel Lancaster, who has terminal cancer. Hazel meets Augustus, another youngster with cancer, during a cancer support group, and the two start dating. The book makes clear that while experiencing emotional anguish is a part of being human, we do have a choice in who we share that grief with.                                                                                                                                                          3. CHINA HAS SIMULATED DESTROYING STARLINK WITH NUCLEAR BLASTS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Many of the peer rivals of the United States are concerned about the constellations because Starlink satellites are being employed more and more as military hardware.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           In fact, a group of Chinese academics at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, a PLAN-run research centre, recently published a paper outlining strategies for taking down or otherwise impeding Starlink. Their response? nuclear weapon explosion in outer space.
