Last year, an article in the journal "Cell Biology" revealed that sharks use Earth's geomagnetic field to navigate the ocean — and can even get confused if they are in areas with stronger magnetic fields than the ones they were accustomed to. Intriguingly, even a species that has been perfected over millions of years of evolution can be tripped up by the ways that magnetism and magnetic fields defy expectations.
In that sense, Elon Musk's satellites never stood a chance.
