TL;DR
What if starlink is sent there to gain energy from orbiting?
Maybe starlink isn't there for WiFi but for gaining energy from it's orbit around the earth. But this would make Earth approach to the sun.

Ask the Starlink subscribers getting Internet. Maybe they are just imagining that their internet WIFI works.
