‘Alarming Increase’ in Satellites Is Making It Impossible for Astronomers to See Space ...

Researchers have proposed a theoretical timepiece, dubbed the "CRASH Clock," which tells us how quickly satellites would start colliding if they lost the ability to avoid each other, such as during a ...

A debris field comprised of a Starlink satellite's remains is floating through space, after a minor explosion broke off pieces of the tech and sent them tumbling around Earth's orbit. Space X reported ...

A simulated image representing the projected contamination by satellite trails in one of the future space telescopes. The stripes of light reflected from artificial telecommunication satellites ...

There are about 15,000 satellites orbiting Earth. Most of them, like the International Space Station and the Hubble Telescope, reside in low Earth orbit, or LEO, which tops out at about 1,200 miles (2 ...

The Institute of Radio Spectrum Utilization and Technological Innovation in China filed a request with the International ...

Light from the half a million satellites that humanity is planning to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years could contaminate almost all the images taken by space telescopes, NASA astronomers ...

Already recognized for its excellence and even adopted for operational weather forecasting, the European Space Agency's Arctic Weather Satellite has now fulfilled its most important role. This small ...

A new scientific clock warns Earth’s crowded orbits could trigger satellite collisions within days, as megaconstellations grow and emergency failures threaten to push low Earth orbit toward a tipping ...
