As greenhouse gases continue to accumulate in Earth’s atmosphere, they are reshaping not only the planet, but the very nature ...

By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...

Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas ...

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

Greenhouse gas emissions are altering not just Earth's climate but also the environment of space. For decades, climate change research has focused on the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere ...

Yet only in the past decade have scientists been able to measure shifts in satellite drag, indicating that the thermosphere could be contracting in response to influences other than the sun’s ...

When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces atmospheric drag— a force that pulls old satellites and other debris down to altitudes where they will encounter air molecules and ...

Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth, according to new research.

An atmospheric layer of special interest is the thermosphere, where the International Space Station and most satellites orbit today. When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces ...
