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

Multiple residents across Northern California have reached out to KCRA 3 after seeing an object that looks like a meteor ...

A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pile up—causing ripple effects across everything from ...

As global warming continues, researchers are warning that there will be problems for satellites in low Earth orbit.

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 ...

Scientists traced origins of 75 meteorites back to specific regions in the asteroid belt, revealing new insights into their ...

The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...

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

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

Rising emissions shrink Earth's thermosphere, weakening drag and trapping space junk in orbit for centuries—threatening ...

As a result, far fewer satellites will be able to safely operate in near-Earth space in the coming decades, with local space debris emergencies likely to become a norm, a new study suggests.
