Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—pose a risk to humans when they fall to ...

Earthquake sensors can detect sonic booms generated by reentering space debris to help track the potentially dangerous ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can better track incoming objects by tuning into their sonic booms.

Earthquake sensors are giving scientists a new way to track space junk as it falls back to Earth.

Old satellites and other space junk fall toward Earth every day, and the shock waves they create could be used to track their trajectories, according to new research.

As the threat of falling spacecraft increases, using earthquake sensors to detect the effects of their sonic booms could ...

Humanity has long wondered if we are being watched from the stars, but the answer might lie in our own exhaust fumes. As the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS moves through the inner Solar System, ...

Now, scientists have devised a clever new way to predict where the pieces may land.

Tens of thousands of human-made objects orbiting the Earth could pose a risk to life, infrastructure and the environment when they fall through the atmosphere. Typically the space debris is tracked ...

Born shortly after Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon in 1969, my journey into space exploration has been entirely self-taught. A military stay in Mururoa sparked my formal education in space ...

Falling satellites and large orbital debris create massive sonic booms and scientists are using them to track dangerous space junk.
