Greenhouse gases are doing more than warming our planet — they're reshaping space itself. As emissions cool and shrink the ...

Here's How The problem is that atmospheric density is the only thing that naturally pulls space junk out of orbit. Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t suddenly give way to the vacuum of space but gets ...

"Our behavior with greenhouse gases here on Earth over the past 100 years is having an effect on how we operate satellites over the next 100 years." Growing concentrations of greenhouse gases are ...

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 cluttering the orbit. MIT researchers ...

Space junk is a "persistent hazard," scientists say. Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth ...

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ... It is poised to exacerbate the growing problem of space debris, potentially shrinking the usable space for satellite in ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the ...

But as the atmosphere becomes less dense, it reduces drag on space debris, allowing it to linger in orbit for longer — and extending the lifespan it has to crash into other objects. Collisions ...

Social media posts reported seeing what is believed to be space junk over southern New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. Astronomer David Finlay said footage led him to believe ...
