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

Currently, around 11,900 satellites are orbiting Earth, providing essential services such as internet connection, communication capabilities, weather prediction and navigation technology. However, ...

In the new study, researchers aimed to evaluate the “satellite carrying capacity” of certain altitudes of interest, or “shells", in low Earth orbit by creating simulations of carbon emissions ...

Climate change, often associated with its effects on Earth, could well impact the space near our planet. A recent study reveals that greenhouse gas emissions risk significantly reducing the ...
