As Earth's orbit becomes populated with more crafts and devices, researchers are looking for ways to detect and track ...

All the excess carbon dioxide generated by people burning fossil fuels is shrinking the upper atmosphere, exacerbating the ...

Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases decrease the atmosphere's ability to devour space junk, a new study finds.

"Our behavior with greenhouse gases here on Earth over the past 100 ... satellites and old space junk encounter less drag as they hurtle around the planet. They therefore stay afloat longer ...

Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites ...

MIT researchers calculate that global warming may reduce the available space for satellites in low Earth orbit by anywhere ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around ... of human-made debris and satellites. That drag pulls space junk down to ...

That's because space will become more littered with debris as climate change lessens nature's way of cleaning it up. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the air near Earth's surface also cools ...

as well as soccer from around the world. As global warming continues, the upper atmosphere will cool and become less dense, reducing the force which usually pulls space debris back to Earth and ...

TUCSON, AZ (AZFamily) — About an hour and a half drive east of Tucson, nestled out in the desert, is a unique structure whose ...

Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t suddenly ... density that half as many satellites could feasibly fit around all the debris stuck in space. Nearly all of them would need to squeeze into the bottom ...
